It is a good decision to acquire or improve your knowledge of Vmware virtualization because Vmware is one of the leading virtualization platforms today. They powered some of the cloud providers today and also run on hyperscale cloud providers like Azure, AWS, Google,etc.

I have over 15 years of working experience in IT infrastructure and have been working with VMware virtualization for over 10 years. I got my first certification as a VMware Certified Professional (VCP 5.0) in 2014, and over the years I have mastered VMware Virtualization.
