VCP4 vSphere Study Notes
It looks like this year is going to be a busy one for me and many other Virtualisation engineers alike. Not only will we have to take the VCP vSphere upgrade exam but it looks like VMware are going to release a new certification called Master VCP. For me the VCP vSphere upgrade is a must if I'm to keep up to date with all of the latest features. The Master VCP exam is optional… but i have opted to aim towards certification before the end of 2009. The Master VCP exam is still in the design stage so it will be a while till it is fully available to the general public but I've decided to start early and make sure i give myself plenty of time to gather together plenty of study material and other useful info that may help me when I'm ready to sit the exams. The only thing that im still unsure of is, Do you have to take the VCP vSphere upgrade exam if you going to take the Master VCP exam? or will the Master superseed the VCP? For those who you who don't know anything about the Master VCP have a look at the posts below.
From VCP to Master VCP- Now I am the Master
And for those of you who don't know anything about the VCP vSphere upgrade exam have a look below for some further information.
I will be using this page as a repository for all the study material that find over the coming months, similar to my VCDX study notes page. I hope that this will help both myself and anyone else reading The SLOG to move closer to passing the VCP vSphere 4 Exam The final release of the VCP on vSphere 4 exam will be available publicly on August 1st, 2009.

Below is a copy of the vSphere 4 VCP Exam Blueprint which i am going to use as a study guide for the next 14 days. I am going to try and go through each bullet point making sure i cover everything. Whenever i find a document, blog post, video which is related to that section i will try and post links so that anyone else who is taking the exam in the future will be able to use this to help their revision.
