Research and compare the following versions of vSphere: 5.0, 6.0, 6.5 and 6.7. What were
the major new features for each version?
New features in vSphere include ESXi quick boot, VM encryption, TPM updates, backup
scheduler, vSPhere client, and many more. Quick boot allows for faster restarts and patching
which is important for improving workflow. It is now possible to enable encryption on existing
VM machines instead of restarting with new ones. vTPM is like normal trusted platform modules
but for approved virtual machine credentials. The improved vSphere client now runs on HTML5
and has additional features.
Research the VCP certification. Develop a plan for you to take the certification (what tools
would you use to prepare and how would you study?). What are the major components of
the exam?
VCP stands for VMware Certified Professional. VMware is the company that owns vSphere that
we will be working with. The test to become a VCP is called the vSphere Foundations Exam. It
includes 85 questions with 90 minutes to complete them. 75% or better is required to pass. Each
attempt will cost $225. There are many additional exams and certifications that specialize in a
specific technology track. The certification only lasts for two years and then the exam must be
retaken. I plan to learn as much as I can in this class to prepare myself for this certification exam.

See next page for pictures. I learned what the actual interface looks like on this product for the
first time. I learned how to move around to different devices and menus. I feel confident
navigating around.
