Things to study in
2020
I’ve been busy/focused-on-other-stuff in 2019, so haven’t done much on the Professional IT Certification front. I’d
like to do more in 2020 (always useful to have a professional armoury of up-to-date and
relevant certs.)
Googling around, I saw this post: 15
Top-Paying IT Certifications for 2019. Now I don’t fancy everything in that list (I have no
plans to become an IT project manager for instance.) These are the ones that interest me (one I already
have):
1.
Google Certified Professional Cloud Architect
4. AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate
(achieved in late 2017)
6.
Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert (MCSE): Server Infrastructure*
*I have been an MCSE in the distant past. The Azure certifications are the ones to go for in this age of cloud.
Above makes 2 non-NetApp certs (since I already have the
AWS CSAA). The 3rd non-NetApp cert (1st cert I’m going to aim for), I already
blogged about here:
See ‘Core Cloud Certifications Links...’ below.
Udemy
Udemy.com (see links below) is a very good source for
training.
Linux Academy
You’ll also find lots of course on Linux Academy (mostly
it’s Udemy in the ‘Core Cloud Certification Links...’ section) like:
AWS Concepts
AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate Level

I also need to refresh my NetApp certs (specifically the

Notes on the NCIE-SAN certification
There are questions regards NVMe in the NCIE-SAN, so be
sure to read:
- Know your NQN, Namespace, Subsystem, ANA and how
they translate to FCP terminology
- Know what speeds NVME/FC supports
- Know how many NVME LIFS you can create
- Know that a single port can support FC and NVMe LIFs
but not in the same SVM
