HELL YEAH!, I finally got my VCDX submission review done and I’m scheduled to defend my design during the first week of November in Cambridge, MA.
Right now I’m feeling like this:
I really can’t believe I made it through this, when I was filling the application and writing the project material back in august I always had the impression that somehow something was missing and that I was overlooking some fields but that wasn’t the case.
Now I’ll try to prepare for the defense at my best (I already arranged a “grill” session with my colleague Giancarlo ) and enjoy the VMworld Europe that is kicking in next week.
Doing the VCDX design in these two weeks has been a crazy ride, I spent near twelve hours a day creating, drawing and reviewing a (in my opinion) great documentation.
As many others before me I can clearly say that this is the most challenging part in the whole VCDX experience, sure, the Enterprise Admin exam was tricky, and studying for the Design exam was a thought task (the blueprint wasn’t that clear…) but compiling the Application Form and preparing all the documentation as requested by VMware was a really demanding task. Doing that with a two weeks deadline was an epic job for me, I’m not used to that pressure .
But now that I submitted the design I can sleep tight at night, if the design will be accepted I’ll defend the first week of November in Cambridge, MA.
I wish to thank my wife for supporting me and for yelling at me at 3am forcing me to go to bed
