What is a VMware Engineer? | VMware Certified Professional - VCP | MCSA | CCNA

[@NetworkChuck]

*UPDATE* Thank you to Adriano Ruiz (@showcdpneigh) for informing me that you can actually bypass the $5K class to get your VCP “Once you’re a CCNA holder, VMware allows for you to take their Foundations Exam, followed by the VCP-NV exam. This is a way to obtain the VCP without going through the 5k class.”

[@masx584]

NetworkChuck Watching this in a #networkchuckcoffee state of mind!

[@mariembuenaventura1278]

Is this still legit?

[@halafadl-allah1408]

can you clarify further the steps to proceed with VCP in case I am CCNA certified ?

[@valdircruz]

@@mariembuenaventura1278 yes, I`m CCNP and submit my cert on Vmware site to bypass the class and foundation exam

[@valdircruz]

@@halafadl-allah1408 follow this link (www.certmetrics.com/vmware/candidate/requirements.aspx) and click in create orther requirements and submit cisco certification.

Love working with VMware. Automating it with Powershell is so great.

[@tosinfaleyimu8405]

#PowerCLI It's incredibly awesome!

[@marcellord5489]

Hi dude am a newbie In VMware what do you need to know to enter the job market??

[@DarkbaseTTV]

@@marcellord5489 I do suggest you look at entry level certifications that VMware offers. You don't have to take the courses or exams, but just have a look at the content of the certifications and research and lab!

[@ecuasteelo]

Great father son relationship and the bonus that you are both in the same field. You have a great formula on the way you produce your content. Keep up the great work Chuck.

[@AlexAlex-mr4zj]

If you wanna get the VMware VCP-NV (network virtualization), and you have the CCNA, you can do it; the CCNA cert will act as a base and compensate the 4-5k class

[@SamAndrew27]

After about 8 years in IT, I am going to work for VMware in Colorado next month...needless to say, I am extremely excited!! :D

[@wheelercm]

I'm pursuing a B.S. in Cloud Computing. All of your videos have been very helpful in putting together everything I'm learning from books, instructors, labs, and other online sources. Your videos are always entertaining and easy to digest. Thank you for all the hard work you do.

[@medhut]

Your Dad is almost the same age as me , I have the same passion for network engineering and just like him I find my self study a lot but I want to prove it to the world so I am getting more and more motivated to get certified thanks to your motivational videos and more with this special interview with your Dad.

[@allisterrampenthal8240]

As I am just finishing my A+ I think this training could help me immensely as I am working towards my CCENT and CCNA by August 2019. Having the Chuck man himself hold me accountable, man that’s some inspiration right there. Merry Christmas all!

[@MarkJYule]

Sounds like a perfect opportunity for a VMware lab video :) I run a small Esxi server - originally it was just to run the GNS3 VM as the main pc I was using didn't support extended page tables. I then used it to run various VMs, both Windows and Linux servers. Of late the main use is running a Kali VM to do basic Pentest labs as I'm concentrating bon Security. The best thing, Esxi is free! VMware Player is free too for desktop useage, though it has less features than Workstation. For those wanting to try Esxi, make sure your machine has an Intel based NIC. Saves a lot of headaches :)

[@DialM4Microcontrollr]

If you don't already have Intel NICs, you can get older model, dual port Intel cards for$15 to $30 on eBay. Look for "dual 1000mt" or 1000pt models among others. Just make sure the card fits your system; some are PCI cards and some are PCI-Express

[@ajbrown3608]

I'm starting from nothing. Just starting an A+ class (it's being given for free), but I'm looking at hunkering down and devoting my life, for the next year, to learning and getting certified in all the skills I need to be successful. You've really lit a fire under my behind. I appreciate it more than you know. A year's subscription to CBT Nuggets would really help in the process and with the financial burden that will come with it. God bless.

[@gwrami]

Great Video. I'm a CCNA and VCP Engineer. I'm currently testing NSX, and is it a great product. Micro-segmentation and Security are the strongest point. Software Define Networking is the future.

[@ZRoessler]

Thank you! Failed my first ccent test in 2017, let it go for over a year now scheduling for retest in March 2019!

[@EllieFilms]

Hey Chuck, really awesome video to be popping up in my subs today! I got my CCNA (coming from a film background) this year, while watching your videos for motivation, and am now an NSX TSE for VMware. Really cool to see this and feel “full circle”

[@cbuckbee]

VMWare knowledge is becoming increasingly important due to Cisco moving more and more things to VMs instead of physical hardware.

[@hempiastore9839]

cutest interview i ever seen, u are so lucky to have a dad that does IT and very lucky that u still have him love for ya guys

[@doncedricreyes3547]

With this year subscription to CBT Nuggets I could finally get my CCNA R&S cert and I could start learning about cybersecurity and Linux. THANK YOU for this 10 days of Christmas you really helped a lot of aspiring IT professionals in achieving their goal. Thank you again Chuck ‹3

[@DICEMAN60]

Great to see the father son relationship. I also find VMWare interesting as we watch everything become virtualized.

[@wmurray1990]

With a year of CBT Nuggets, I could absolutely finish my CCNA, the move on to my CCNA Security, as well as explore other technologies I am not even aware of and possible find something else I may want to dive into.

[@vegasraver50]

Been watching for the last 6 months as I go back to school for networking. Actually has quite a few relatable topics and allows me to keep my focus on the journey that I have ahead.

[@wolfegang76]

I'm sorry -- I still highly recommend the entire 40hr class -- just because you have CCNA..... ummmmmmmm............ no..... that doesn't enhance, or help you to understand VMware systems. Yes, some will argue that "well I know networking"... Great!!! Very Proud of You! But honestly, in this day in age, if you don't "understand" networking... hang up the phone and call it a day! Take the whole class.... I run into folks day in day out who think they know a thing or two/3? about VMware, vCenter, vROPs etc... ummmm no... ummm we virtualize... ummm SAY WHAT?!!!! Just as to be a Cisco "badass"... to be a VMware "badass" stop cheating -- sit for a class and get your company to sponsor you! And BTW.......... the 40hr class IS NOT A BOOT CAMP.............. you will actually "know" the material........... it's hands on... unlike these F****g paper CISSP/CCNA turds of late... (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE... VCE GUYS... !!!!!!) If you have attained VCP-DCV --- I have way more respect PERIOD! Because you CAN'T cheat the test.... much like the OSCP, OSCE... So in summary.. if you already have your CCNA..... Good job! -- but do yourself a favor............. VMware is /aside from the networking aspect/ is a whole other world. go to the class.... just my 2 cents.... enjoy the Journey!!!! This video is great but as far as VMware technologies... elementary at best....

[@ferdinandmarrero221]

I'm working on my CCNA. I left the military life a year ago and want a change in my life. Starting the foundation for supporting my family. Thanks for what you do Chuck.

[@hashcat253]

[@dannymohan2642]

Been a Finance major my entire life. Always wanted to go into IT but always thought i wasnt smart enough. I learnt about CBTnuggets through your videos. This one year membership will finally give me the tools neccessary to make that switch. I really want to learn about server microsoft server 2016 and then move to Azure certifications. Having you keep me accountable will also really help in me staying focused and disciplined while i am on this journey!

[@tiffanyl.7385]

Thank you for this video. I took my first Virtualization class this past semester and loved it. A year access to nugget will help me have me study for both my CCNA and check out the VM course they offer. The resources they offer can help me get my certifications.

[@TmurphyIT]

Renew VCP, Finish CCNA, and start AWS!

[@DialM4Microcontrollr]

I've used vmWare ESXi off and on (depending on the job) since about 2009. But I only got my VCP-Datacenter last month. The important thing for me was to find an employer that would pay for the class. I took the VCP class probably a year ago, after working for the employer for 2 years. Worth it!

[@SincerelyyyKiki]

It'd be awesome to get a video on the questions your dad would ask in an interview (over the phone and a more formal) and the different types of answers he'd be looking for/the answers he's gotten from people.

[@southpolelf]

With a year of CBT nuggets, I'd be able to finish up my AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate cert, then get started on and finish my CCNP. Lastly, I'd round out the year with either a Red Hat cert for some foundational Linux skills or maybe even take a crack at the VCP-NV since I've started seeing the cert as a requirement start popping up in the job postings. Whether or not I win, I have been so grateful for you and your videos. After jumping into my IT career with MY A+, I floundered a bit trying to figure out what my next move should be. Your videos have helped me to carve out a path forward to enrich my skills and one day use them to help the next generation of networkers forward.

[@bartleboom1978]

I would like to improve my IT skills, especially with the networking. I can’t imagine anything better than learning from the enthusiastic CBTNuggets teachers! Thank you NetworkChuck for giving us this opportunity!

Thanks to you my man I've decided to make 2019 my best year i moved to another country and i lack experience so i need to fill the gap with passion and hopefully certifications i have started studying hard for my CCNA and i will become a CCNP by the end of 2019 and fit anything else i can in the schedule like python and gns3, it will not be easy but I'll do it and having the one year subscription to CBT nuggets will be an excellent boon to accomplish my goals it will change my life and anybody's that wants to advance their career so good luck to everyone and have fun in your adventures!!

Did u get your ccnp then ?

[@manthing1467]

Yea end of 2019 where you at?

[@gmc9753]

I used to be really into VMWare at home for a long time. I bought WorkStation 1.0 when it first came out and regularly upgraded it. My host was always a Linux machine and I mostly used VMs to run Windows. Then, several years ago, it got too complicated trying to make sure the version of WorkStation I had supported the host I was running it on. I also very rarely need to run Windows, so I just switched to using VirtualBox.

[@MarquisWynne]

I currently have a CCNA and would like to work on not just CCNP material but Azure/AWS material as well. I've used CBT nuggets in the past and I know that it's top notch. A 1 year subscription would definitely go a LOOOOONG way to making those goals happen.

[@skipperstrange5816]

I like the part where your dad says he knows a lot but he couldn’t prove it. Truth is thats the problem a lot of us face with all these new categorizations that just redefine same old practices due to volume of output. But we’ll get there 😌. Great job you doing out here chuck.

[@thewhiterabbit2100]

I could pass my CCNA exam and begin learning for my next cert ,which will open up a door for endless possibilities for my future career in IT

a subscription to cbt nuggets would put me over the top with passing icnd2 and then be my resource for learning python and beginning studies for CCNP

[@kamaldeepsingh9170]

I am currently studying for my CCNA, completed Jeremy Cioara's ICND1 course. In a year of CBT nuggets subscription I can complete my CCNA Routing and Switching + CCNA security. After that I am planning to get my MCSA and VCP certifications in 2019. CBT nuggets are best in all these certifications training.
