  • 🎖️Credly Badge #100 – VCAP VCF 9.0 Networking

    This one caught me by surprise.

    Badge #100 came from Advanced VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 Networking, earned by passing the VMware Certified Advanced Professional (VCAP) VCF Networking (3V0-25.25) exam, released right around January 10, 2026.

    The timing couldn’t have been better. Earlier in January, I attended an internal Private AI Services and Architecture training in Palo Alto, where I earned an exam voucher. That turned out to be the perfect nudge to take the exam while everything, from VCF 9.0 networking architecture to NSX design patterns, was still fresh in my mind.

    It’s a good reminder that learning never really stops in this space. Every badge represents hours spent digging into the details, validating what you think you know, and leveling up your ability to help customers navigate complex environments.

    What made this milestone particularly interesting was the new-content, new-blueprint factor. The exam goes far beyond memorization, it tests hands-on skills across design, deployment, configuration, operations, and troubleshooting of VCF Networking environments. It emphasizes NSX architecture, Tier-0 and Tier-1 gateways, VPCs, federation, services, and real-world troubleshooting scenarios.

    Grateful for the journey so far, and plenty more to learn ahead. Onward. 🚀

  • 🧬A New Generation of VMware VCAP Exams

    VMware has expanded its VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) certification portfolio with a comprehensive set of new VCAP (VMware Certified Advanced Professional) exams, reinforcing its commitment to modern private cloud skills. These certifications are designed for IT professionals who want to go beyond basic administration and demonstrate advanced, real-world expertise in designing, operating, and supporting VCF environments.

    The new VCF-aligned exams span both VCP and VCAP levels, covering critical roles across the cloud lifecycle, from support and administration to architecture and advanced operations. At the VCAP level, candidates can now validate deep technical skills in specialized domains such as Automation, Networking, Storage, Operations, Kubernetes, and Architecture, all advanced subject matter domains within the context of VMware Cloud Foundation.

    This updated lineup reflects how enterprises actually deploy private cloud today: integrated, automated, and Kubernetes-ready. By offering role-based and domain-focused VCAP exams, VMware enables professionals to align certifications with their day-to-day responsibilities and career goals, whether they’re cloud administrators, platform engineers, SREs, cloud architects, or enterprise architects.

    Overall, the new VCF VCAP exams represent a new evolution of VMware’s certification program. They provide a clear, structured path for validating advanced private cloud expertise and help organizations ensure their teams are ready to design and operate scalable, secure, and modern VCF-based environments.
