VCP-5

VMware vSphere VCP 5

Welcome to my VCP 5 study guide page. Listed below is a breakdown of what is included in the VCP 5 Exam Blueprint (currently version 1.4) and study notes for the sections. Josh Coen (blog/twitter) and myself are working together to put this guide together. So as you are clicking through different sections you may be redirected to Josh’s blog. Once all sections have been completed the goal is to put them all into a handy PDF document for download. We both appreciate any comments or feedback on the content we are building and hopefully you find it helpful in your studies for the VCP 5 exam as well.
