Why this program matters

  • Without deep mastery of EPYC processors, IT teams expose the company to density drops of 30 to 40% on servers, generating additional hardware costs of several tens of thousands of euros per rack.

  • Security gaps left unprotected by SEV can trigger confidentiality incidents with GDPR fines reaching 4% of revenue.

  • NUMA misconfigurations cause average outages of 4 to 8 hours, directly hitting productivity of critical services and the CIO's reputation with executive leadership.

Learning objectives

  • Configure virtualization features of EPYC processors for professional environments
  • Optimize virtual machine density to increase efficiency in production
  • Secure virtualized workloads using SEV and Infinity Guard technologies
  • Monitor performance and power consumption of AMD servers under real-world conditions
  • Troubleshoot virtualization and contention issues on EPYC architectures
  • Deploy advanced allocation strategies to reduce infrastructure costs

Program

Module 1EPYC Zen Architecture: Analysis of Virtualization Capabilities (tools, methods, deliverables)

Participants study in depth the Zen architecture of EPYC processors, virtualization extensions, and physical socket limitations. Practical exercises involve analyzing real servers, mapping cores, and producing a capacity report for a given enterprise case.

Module 2Hypervisor Deployment and EPYC Configuration (tools, methods, deliverables)

Installation and configuration of KVM, VMware ESXi, and Hyper-V on EPYC hardware. Learners configure BIOS options, NUMA nodes, and AMD drivers, then deliver a production-ready test environment with automation scripts.

Module 3Advanced Security with SEV and Infinity Guard (tools, methods, deliverables)

Implementation of SEV-SNP memory encryption and Infinity Guard protections on critical virtual machines. Attack scenarios are simulated, followed by the production of a documented and enterprise-applicable security policy.

Module 4VM Density Optimization and Performance (tools, methods, deliverables)

Hands-on exercises in overcommitment, affinity, and scheduling to maximize the number of VMs per server. Participants measure gains using AMD tools and deliver a quantified optimization plan for a production workload.

Module 5Monitoring, Troubleshooting, and Real Cases (tools, methods, deliverables)

Trace analysis, resolution of contention incidents, and SLA validation. Learners handle real cases provided by the trainer and submit a final deliverable including troubleshooting procedures and recommendations for continuous improvement.

Evaluation method

  • MCQ on EPYC virtualization features
  • Assessed labs on configuration and density optimization
  • Troubleshooting simulation in a production environment

Learning method

  • Detailed theory on Zen architecture and virtualization
  • Hands-on labs on real EPYC servers
  • Analysis of real-world enterprise case studies
  • Expert trainer feedback and insights

Methods, materials and delivery

The Training AMD EPYC Virtualization - Maximizing VM Density in Production program is delivered onsite or remote (blended-learning, virtual classroom, remote presence). At Learni, an industry-certified training organization, every program is built to maximize skills acquisition regardless of the chosen format.

The trainer alternates between demonstrative, interrogative and active methods (through hands-on labs and/or scenarios). This pedagogical approach guarantees concrete learning that's immediately applicable at work.

Equipment required

For the smooth delivery of the Training AMD EPYC Virtualization - Maximizing VM Density in Production program, the following equipment is required:

  • Mac or PC computers, high-speed fiber internet, whiteboard or flipchart, projector or interactive touch screen (for remote sessions)
  • Training environments installed on workstations or accessible online
  • Course materials, hands-on exercises and complementary resources
  • Post-training access to materials and educational resources

For intra-company training on a site outside Learni, the client commits to providing all required teaching materials (computers, internet, etc.) for the smooth delivery of the program in line with the prerequisites in the communicated program.

Skills assessment methods

Assessment of skills acquired during the Training AMD EPYC Virtualization - Maximizing VM Density in Production program is performed through:

  • During training: case studies, hands-on labs and professional scenarios
  • End of training: self-assessment questionnaire and skills evaluation by the trainer
  • After training: completion certificate detailing acquired skills

Program accessibility

Learni is committed to making its programs accessible. All our programs are accessible to people with disabilities. Our teams are available to adapt the pedagogical methods to your specific needs. Please contact us for any adjustment request.

Enrollment terms and lead times

Registration is possible up to 48 business hours before the start of training. All our programs are built for corporate L&D budgets and delivered onsite or remotely.

The Learni story

Founded by engineers and learning experts, Learni's mission is to make high-impact tech training accessible to teams everywhere. We work remotely with organizations across the US and Canada, in your time zone, to help teams upskill fast.

Our method

Training quality, guaranteed at every step

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
