Nutanix Virtual Machines are the core to most workloads. This is where guest operating systems, such as Windows and Linux, are installed so they host applications and services. Nutanix VMs function the same as any other virtual machine and support a wide array of OS's, including virtual appliances from firewall, anti-virus, and other application vendors. The videos in this Nutanix Training topic cover any and all virtual machine management, from creating a VM, to managing the virtual hardware or networking, and how to perform troubleshooting and analysis.
