Workspace ONE Intelligence Series - VMware Certifications

Workspace ONE Intelligence Series: November 2018 Releases

As we moved into the start of the holiday season a couple months ago, we didn’t let our foot off the gas pedal when it came to updates to Workspace ONE Intelligence. The November 2018 release updates to the Workspace ONE Intelligence service brought several enhancements that continue to help our customers increase security, optimize resources and improve user experience across their digital workspace. We covered some of the major updates in the third episode of our Workspace ONE Intelligence Series, including:

• Application triggers for automation – IT can now set up actions that are automatically triggered based on behavior of apps.
• New status page – This webpage shows real-time updates on the Intelligence service, such as operational status on uptime and health of the service.
• Hands-on labs – We highlight this great resource available for anyone to take Workspace ONE Intelligence for a test drive. Explore the great features available in a sandboxed environment, for free!
• Cloud Security Alliance Questionnaire – This is another great resource that helps answer specific security questions around the Workspace ONE Intelligence service.

Clarifications on New VMware certifications - VMware Practice Exam

New certification names will be identified by the year they are earned. Potentially this will make easier to immediately identify how current a certification is.

So the new certification roadmap should become (only yellow labels are officially, other may change):

But there were some doubts on how those certification new names will match the exam names (and the course requirements).

Now VMware has clarified how will work, at least for the VCP certifications: the certification you earn depends on when you complete the requirements. If you meet all the requirements in 2019 (starting on January 16), you’ll earn the 2019 certification. If you finish it in 2020, you’ll earn the 2020 certification, and so on.

For each certification, there are exam requirements. When the certification launches, the most recent exam will still be available since it represents a current solution (although with a different exam code so our system will map it to the new certification). Then, based on product updates, available resources, and the timing of product releases, one or more new exams will be released.

What does it mean? That you can choose your exam version and exams will remain related to product versions, not to certification year.

Here are the exam plans for each VCP certification for 2019:

VCP 2019 certifications
As you can see, there are multiple exam options for each certifications, based on the different product version or type (see for example NSX-V and NSX-T). That could be good to match your course requirements, but for sure will be more confusing to define on what product are your certified.

The VMware certification page has not been updated yet, but probably we will see some changes in the next weeks.

Will be also interesting see how VCP certification expiration will work, but I guess that i simple will match the years, so you have to gain a new VCP certification (direclty or indireclty using a VCAP exam) every odd or even year.
