VMware certification update

  • Date: 05 November, 2020
VMware Education Services has released five new courses over the past few weeks, focusing on vRealize and Tanzu. Below, we take a quick look  at what they cover and how they can help you to develop your specialist skills and knowledge:

  • vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager: Install, Configure, Manage (V8.0) is a two day course aimed at system administrators and system engineers. It prepares successful candidates for administering a vRealize infrastructure for an organisation, with the prerequisites being a basic understanding of vRealize Suite or products such as vRealize Operations, vRealize Automation or vRealize Log Insight 
  • Data Center Automation with vRealize Orchestrator and vSphere PowerCLI is a five day course intended for experienced vSphere administrators who want to use available tools to automate day-to-day tasks
  • vRealize Automation Advanced Features and Troubleshooting (V8.x) has a target audience of experienced system administrators and system integrators responsible for using the advanced features of vRealize Automation in enterprise deployments. It is a five day course that will provide attendees with an understanding of how to use the advanced features of vRealize Automation to deploy user systems and interface vRealize Automation with other platforms 
  • vRealize Automation: Orchestration and Extensibility (v8.1) is another five day course. The learning objectives include how to provide XaaS (Anything as a Service) and implement Machine Lifecycle Extensibility using vRealize Automation Event Broker. It also covers how to create vRealize Orchestrator workflows and vRealize Automation ABX actions. The target audience here is wide ranging and includes experienced VMware administrators, automation and orchestration specialists, system integrators, and private cloud and public cloud administrators
  • Tanzu Kubernetes Grid: Install, Configure, Manage (V1.0) is a two day course focusing on installing Tanzu Kubernetes Grid in a vSphere environment and then provisioning and managing Tanzu Kubernetes clusters. A working knowledge of Kubernetes is required, with the course intended for VI administrators responsible for deploying and managing Tanzu Kubernetes clusters
It is also interesting to see that VMware has announced the addition of Modern Applications to its certification tracks. These new Modern Applications certifications are intended to cover the skills required by VMware’s customers to build, run and manage their modern apps. These can include, for example, developer knowledge of specialised frameworks or administrator knowledge of emerging technologies like Kubernetes and containers.

Unsurprisingly, Tanzu badges feature heavily in these certifications (validated by passing specialist exams), with the Spring Certified Professional also appearing. This latter certification covers core aspects of Spring, including container basics, Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP), data access and transactions, Spring model-view-controller (MVC) and REST.

More information on the Modern Applications certifications will follow as it becomes available.
