VMware Professional vSphere 6.7 Delta Exam 2019 (2V0-21.19D)
It’s that time again to do my recertification for my VMware Certified Professional - Data Center Virtualization. As such, I thought I’d create not only a study guide but also include video training for those that need succinct tutorials that need to brush up on their VMware skills. This is not a brain dump, but actual tutorials covering each objective. Keep in mind that the actual test questions come from VMware’s documentation. If you want to get the highest score possible, you’ll need to read the documentation.
The outline below is straight from VMware’s Exam Preparation Guide for the Delta Exam. I’ll be adding new tutorials as I work through each objective. If the item below is not clickable, I’ve not gotten to that specific objective. Please be patient. I hope you enjoy the training.
