VMware Cloud Foundation 5.2 Architect Exam (2V0-13.24) Exam Review

It’s always a pleasure to finish the year on a positive note, right? Like many of you, I usually schedule an exam session a few days before the new year, and this year was no exception. I took on December 30th, the VMware Cloud Foundation 5.2 Architect exam and successfully passed.

I must admit, my intention wasn’t primarily to succeed but rather to test my skills on this first VCF Architect exam. Additionally, like all Broadcom employees, I was entitled to a couple of vouchers that were set to expire at the end of the year, so I felt needed to take my chances and give it a try.

To my great surprise, when I clicked on the finish button, I was pleased to see that I had passed the exam. Continue reading

Google welcomes VMware to its Cloud Platform

It’s official! VMware and Google Cloud team up to deliver a new Cloud platform to customers.

This new partnership will allow VMware to extend once more its muti-cloud portfolio and run VMware Cloud Fondation into Google Cloud.

So what’s up with that new offering?

Google will leverage on their platform the full VMware stack that include of course vSphere, but also vSAN and NSX-T, and Google Cloud will be in charge of the support. It is worth to mention that this solution is developped by CloudSimple, the same company that brought us VMware on Microsoft Azure.

The new solution will be available in late 2019, no region has been mentioned yet for the launch but my guess is it will be the US as usual.

This is becoming really interesting because if you remember well, VMware first teamed up in 2017 with AWS to reveal the WMware Cloud on AWS offering, then was announced a partnership with IBM and more recently at the last DellTechnology World was revealed the VMware Cloud on Microsoft Azure solution.

Now VMware’s customers have again the opportunity to expand their on premise infrastructure to a hybride cloud with the provider of their choice and take benefit of their public cloud services.

Now the question is, which one will be the best fit for you and your workloads ? 2020 is gonna be for VMware a year full of multi-cloud awesomeness!
