Below you will find currently available certifications, exams as well as links to exam guides and additional resources that could be helpful to prepare for each of them. Containers, kubernetes and Tanzu topic is still pretty fresh in terms of VMware certification. Therefore there is no complete certification path that would include entry,…

While trying to access the GUI you will get “502 Bad Gateway” which is not so meaningful. Trying to access SSH will fail as well. However, accessing the direct console gives a clear information about the problem. Based on that there is nothing left than redeploying…

As part of my VCDX preparation I’ve read lots of books, blogs and other documents to expand the knowledge and fill the gaps.

I can’t say this is something that every candidate must read, but I decided to share this list as a VCDX BoM as I found it valuable for…
