Enterprises are increasingly transitioning to private cloud environments, which has resulted in a skyrocketing demand for professionals with expertise in cloud infrastructure. As a result, VMware by Broadcom has introduced a new certification that caters specifically to this growing market need: the VMware Certified Professional: VMware Cloud Foundation Administrator 2024.
The VMware Cloud Foundation Administrator certification focuses on the critical skills needed to install, configure, and manage VMware Cloud Foundation™ (VCF) in private clouds. Additionally, it validates the ability of a person to troubleshoot and optimize VMware solutions. This certification is beneficial to any individual who works with the VMware Cloud Foundation solution as it demonstrates their expertise and knowledge.
The importance of VMware Cloud Foundation
VMware Cloud Foundation stands as a pivotal private platform for the modern IT landscape. Purposefully designed for both the modernization of data centers and the deployment of contemporary applications, it is the embodiment of enterprise agility, reliability, and efficiency. Whether the aim is to run traditional applications or those that are containerized, VMware Cloud Foundation combines the scale and agility of public cloud with the security and performance of private cloud.
VMware Cloud Foundation enables organizations to efficiently manage virtual machines (VMs) and containers. Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) deployments on-premises can benefit from cloud capabilities. The Total Economic Impact (TEI) study conducted by Forrester determined the potential return on investment of VMware Cloud Foundation was 171%. The study shows that VMware Cloud Foundation provides operational efficiency and cost reduction for organizations. The report also shows that businesses can expect a positive ROI within nine months of deploying the solution.
Validate private cloud competency
The versatility of VMware Cloud Foundation has made it the preferred solution for enterprises looking to streamline their operations, reduce costs, and increase agility with private cloud. The complexity of managing such a complex infrastructure, however, requires a deep understanding of the subject and specialized skills. That is where the new VMware Cloud Foundation Administrator certification comes into play.
For tech professionals seeking to demonstrate their expertise in private Cloud, the VMware Cloud Foundation Administrator 2024 exam goes beyond merely proving competency; it equips IT professionals and cloud professionals with the expertise to navigate the complexities of private cloud and beyond confidently.
Who should take this exam?
The VMware Cloud Foundation Administrator 2024 exam builds on current VMware cloud skill sets while combining cloud principles into the overall management of the VMware Cloud Foundation solution. The new VMware Cloud Foundation Administrator 2024 exam will evaluate the candidate’s ability to install, configure, and manage the VMware Cloud Foundation solution. The target audience for certification is a private cloud administrator who uses VCF, but cloud administrators, cloud infrastructure engineers, cloud architects, virtual infrastructure administrators, and system administrators would also benefit from earning certification.
During this exam, candidates will demonstrate their expertise in identifying components and use cases, as well as their ability to optimize performance and troubleshoot issues related to VMware Cloud Foundation.
