Course Overview

This course provides administrators and operators with the theoretical understanding and hands-on experience needed to manually install and manage the Tanzu Application Service (TAS). The course begins with an introduction to Tanzu Application Service from an end-user’s perspective. It then moves on to look at the core deployment tool, BOSH, and how to use it. This builds the foundation for installing Tanzu Operations Manager and the Tanzu Application Service, configuring users, roles, and quotas, and setting up the platform for logging and monitoring. Upon completion of this course, participants will have the skills necessary to go from setup through maintenance of their organization’s cloud platform.
