5V0-31.19: VMware Cloud on AWS Management Exam 2019 – Study tips and my notes

January 6, 2019 Manny Sidhu 4

This test had been in my sights for some time, moreso after Graham Barker posted about it last year. I was pretty flat out at work when he made his passing the exam post here and decided to knock it out within the first week of the new year. More importantly, I’m going to deal with VMConAWS this year at my new job, it made even more sense to skill up. So I took the test this morning and passed. I never brag, it only took me about 3 hours of study, most of which was around (and this builds upon Graham’s post): what was where within the SDDC console in VMConAWS billing and consolidation in VMConAWS interoperability and management of […]

This morning I sat for and passed AWS Cloud Practitioner test. It was on a whim that I booked it yesterday realizing this was (very) low hanging fruit I could easily pocket.

To prepare for the exam, I bought the CloudGuru Udemy course: Udemy CloudGuru AWS Certified Developer Course At the start of the course, they mention that there is some solid overlap between the training material and what key things you need to focus on for the Developer exam if you have already done the other. I practised the things I already knew […]

So it has taken me a while to get on this cloud train! After my VCDX I wanted to get my Linux skills up to a more competent level. It has been a weak point of mine for a very long time. Now from my previous posts you can see I have managed to do that and now it is time to focus more on cloud!   Where I am working currently we are going through a couple of proof of concepts using AWS and GCP. Since they will given to me in due course, I felt it was important to have a base line level of skill!   So the first thing I did was use the Cloud Guru […]
