The VMware Certified Professional (VCP) 6.5 Data Center Virtualization certification demonstrates your skills and your ability to successfully install, configure, and manage a VMware vSphere 6.5-based infrastructure, including all of its components and layers: vCenter Server, ESXi hosts, and virtual machines.

This book describes the various paths to reaching this industry-standard certification (which is still one of the most sought-after and best-paying certifications to have), and prepares you for the whole journey along whichever path to the certification you choose.

The main part of this book is focused on the VCP65-DCV exam (2V0-622), but much of what you will learn can also be applied to the delta exam (2V0-622D). The book follows the related VMware Certified Professional 6.5 - Data Center Virtualization Exam Preparation Guide (https://mylearn.vmware.com/lcms/web/portals/certification/exam_prep_guides/Exam_Prep_Guide_2V0-622_3Oct2017.docx.pdf), and it is structured using the same objectives.

The different chapters are grouped in different sections, according to the preparation and schedule being discussed. The aim of this book is to provide a reference point that can help your preparation for the exam in a timeframe of four weeks.
