Scheduling Vmware exam through Pearson Vue

Image
There’s an info on the Internet that says it’s possible to pass Vmware VCA certs for free. It’s been a while now and Vmware retired this offer. However, there are some folks that say they could get around and pass without spending a penny. They say it’s a matter of combining promo codes. I’ve been trying all the codes. Pearson Vue warned me that they’re going to shut down my account if I do another attempt! :p So I created a new Vmware account. And I chose very famous first and last Names: The nice part is that Vmware responded positively to my schedule request! The certification team did not watch the Jason Bourne Trilogy, lol: Anyway, back to serious stuff. The 100% discount is officially retired. Only 50% promo codes are still valid. I’ll publish valid promo codes in a later post, inchAllah.

Cloud Service Models

Cloud providers in general and Vmware in particular defines at least three typical vCloud service models.   Infrastructure as a Service IaaS Flexible environment: customers have complete control over the VMs on which their applications run customers are responsible for OS patching and VM maintenance two services emerged from the IaaS: Desktop as a Service (DaaS) and Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) Platform as a Service PaaS useful for web hosting stable environment PaaS Providers are responsible for patching and upgrading the underlying OS, which is sometimes a slow process customers can customize how their applications work Software as a Service SaaS are provided by SaaS Providers applications must be available to customers anytime, anywhere examples: Google Gmail, Zimbra customers are not concerned by how these applications work customers should be able to customize the look and feel of their applications
