VMware Cloud Foundation

Must-have for every candidate for all the skills

• VCF 9 in production: hands-on experience with VMware Cloud Foundation 9.x in a production environment. Experience with only VCF 4/5 or vSphere 7/8 is not sufficient.
• Broadcom/VMware: experience raising and driving technical cases with Broadcom/VMware support.
• English: fluent, written and spoken.
