Kilka dni temu udało mi się zdać egzamin, o którym pisałem już wcześniej, czyli 74-409: Server Virtualization with Windows Server Hyper-V and System Center. Dzięki temu uzyskałem dwa tytuły: Server Virtualization with Windows Server Hyper-V and System Center Specialist oraz Microsoft Certified Specialist. Ponieważ kilka osób pytało mnie o materiały, z których się przygotowywałem, postanowiłem utworzyć ten wpis.
74-409 Server Virtualization with Windows Server Hyper-V – materiały
1. Przede wszystkim kurs MVA (Microsoft Virtual Academy). Dostępny jest on pod linkiem: Server Virtualization with Windows Server Hyper-V and System Center. Kurs pomimo, iż jest darmowy, to świetnie opisuje wiele zagadnień. Jednak nie dajcie się zwieźć. Samo obejrzenie kursu nie wystarczy, aby zdać egzamin.
2. Jeżeli wcześniej mieliście do czynienia z wirtualizacją w VMware, to polecam także kurs: Wirtualizacja Microsoft dla administratorów VMWare
3. Jeżeli nie macie laboratorium do testów z Hyper-V, to polecam Virtual Tech Lab. Jest to środowisko do testów udostępnione przez Microsoft. Wystarczy w wyszukiwarce wpisać Hyper-V, aby wyszukać różne gotowe laboratoria wraz ze scenariuszem.
4. Technet – większość informacji znajdziecie tutaj. Możecie sami opracować każde zagadnienie (link 74-409: Skills Measured) lub skorzystać z poniższej ściągawki:
