Reading Time: 4 minutes Reading Time: < 1 minuteWith this first post, I will start a collection of link and notes about the VCP5 exam prep. I will use the official blueprint (the actual version is 1.2, and is still related to the beta exam, but probably it will remain the same).
Let’s start from the part that is not included in the blueprint (something is in objective 1.5): the VMware products and solutions overview and some concepts about cloud computing.
Reading Time: < 1 minuteA new blog about virtualization has been started…
Why another virtualization site?
Why not… And also to collect some information and documents on a single site. From the results of the first year of activity, seems that the idea wasn’t to bad.
Why vInfrastructure?
Because this site is most focused on the infrastructural (and also management) part, initially I have used the name virtual-infrastructure.it. Most people will remember that was the previous name (before vSphere) of the (system) virtualization suite from VMware.
Reading Time: 5 minutesAfter two year I’m again on the VCP beta exam… (on July, 14 2009 I’ve take the VCP4 beta exam, that was the first beta exam from VMware).
The story is available on: http://communities.vmware.com/people/AndreTheGiant/blog/2011/07/21/my-vmware-vcp5-beta-exam-experience
The beta exam
As written in the official blueprint (v1.2) the beta exam (code VCP511) consist of 180 questions (with a short pre-exam survey of 8 questions).
Beta exam period will finish on July, 24 (I never though that some VUE testing center were open also on other day than Mon-Fri) and can be schedules in any VUE center (depending on available seats). Note that each people can see both VCP510 and VCP511 exams in their profile, but the official will be available only on late Aug and the beta is only on invite… so I think that without the invite voucher (that is individual) is not possible book the exam.
Reading Time: < 1 minuteWith the official announce of VMware vSphere 5 an historical era has ended: vSphere 5 will be based only on ESXi… ESX in no more available.
VMware ESX Server was probably the first bare metal hypervisor for x86 architecture and its first release was in 2001… Now, after 10 years, it has been retired. But this does not mean that there isn’t any support of existing ESX… support will be available still for several years, as reported in the official document:
Reading Time: < 1 minuteAfter the launch of vSphere 5 on July 12th, also the new VCP5 has been launched!
The VMware Certification portal has already been updated with the VCP5 exam blueprint and even a VCP5 mock exam, and there is a substantial amount of information about the training requirements on the VCP5 homepage.
The final exam will be available to take after August 29th 2011, but there was also be the usual beta period until Jul 24.
Reading Time: < 1 minuteAt a live event today, VMware CEO Paul Maritz unveiled VMware vSphere® 5 and a comprehensive suite of cloud infrastructure technologies built to help customers transform IT to drive greater efficiency of existing investments and improve operational agility.
