VCDX’s around the World
While VMware published the above VCP & VCAP breakdown, Michael Voigt published a breakdown of VCDX’s worldwide.
1/3 work for VMware
1/3 work for other OEMs (Cisco, AWS, Google, Nutanix, etc).
That only leave 1/3 working at VARs/Resellers where customers can get those designs from certified experts that focus on business requirements & outcomes.
Check out his post / breakdown of VCDX here.
…. only 0.08% of VMware certified individuals are VCDX…..
vCenter Versions & Build #s
I wish the folks at VMware would make it easier to figure out which build / version # you have installed.
Not a fan of looking up my build# (i.e. 17327517) to see which Update version of vCenter that I have installed (7.0.1 update 1c if you need to know).
Perhaps someday, VMware will make it easier.
In the meantime, the KB article covering what build is what version.

vSAN – migrate a cluster from Hybrid to All Flash
Marco van Baggum recently did a project where he took a vSAN Cluster, which is hybrid, and converted it to an All Flash vSAN Cluster using new ESXi nodes.
Pretty cool that it seems this simple….
He covers this in his post here.

Nutanix LCM – improvements made!
I’ve always loved the Nutanix One-Click upgrades (I always jest that they are two-click upgrades, as you click upgrade, THEN click OK).
LCM (LifeCycle Manager) has gone through some improvements on BIOS and other hardware firmware.
