Virtualization Security training

azjag

I'm looking at attending one of the two training classes below and was curious if anybody had any experience with them.

VMware vSphere: Manage and Design for Security [V4.1]
VMware vSphere: Manage and Design for Security [V4.1]

Virtualization Security Fundamentals
SANS Network Security 2011 - Virtualization Security Fundamentals

I'm interested in both but will probably have to pick one. I'm leaning towards the SANS class simply because I've heard the vmware course still needs some work. Plus CPE's and the fact it is in Vegas are a bonus.

Pricing
VMware is $2900
SANS is $1950
Govt pricing is probably cheaper.

Time Requirement
VMware is 3 days Mon-Wed.
SANS is 2 days Sun-Mon.

Thanks,

I don't know anyone who has done either course. Do you have a course outline for each?

If the vSphere course is, as you say, needing some work, then I might would give the SANS course some stronger consideration, unless you feel that you need to emphasize vSphere specific security features or go for the VCAP certs.
