最近,我们赶上了Mikhail Kisselyov,谈论了他获得这一专家级认证的经验,并为希望获得NCX的其他专业人员获得建议。
您能告诉我们您的IT背景吗?
My IT career began right after college when I joined JSC Kazakhtelecom, the largest telecommunication operator in Kazakhstan, as a Junior IT Engineer in 2007. Today I work as the Head of Regional IT Infrastructure Department. In addition to managing a team of Systems and Network Engineers, I also work with different types of server hardware, virtualization solutions, enterprise-grade storage, backup systems, HCI, SDS, microservices, Kubernetes, and so on. I began using Nutanix in 2017.
I also blog athttps:// vmik.netand participate in community programs, including Nutanix Technology Champion, Veeam Vanguard, and VMware vExpert.
您如何看待NCX帮助您的职业?
当您学习时,尤其是当您为专家级考试做准备时,您就会成为更好的专家,这无疑可以帮助您增加自己的角色并提供新的职业机会。
As I prepared for the NCX certification, I not only learned more about Nutanix, but I also learned a lot about design and architecture. All of the skills and methodology you learn during theEnterprise Cloud Solution Design (ECSD) Boot Campcan be applied in different areas with all vendors and solutions.
Why did you decide to get your NCX certification?
In early 2021 when I became a Nutanix Technology Champion, I learned of the NPX program during the kick-off meeting and was highly impressed. From there, I decided to pursue the certification.
老实说,我不确定我是否可以通过NPX考试,但是我开始学习,准备并预订了在ECSD训练营中的位置。然后在几个月内,新的NCX考试是NPX的垫脚石。我认为这对我的专家认证来说是一个不错的起点,因此成为我的新目标。
您还持有哪些其他认证(Nutanix等)?
除NCX认证外,我还持有Nutanix认证助理(NCA),Nutanix认证专业 - 数据服务(NCP -DS),Nutanix认证专业人员 - 最终用户计算机(NCP -EUC)和NUTANIX认证的Master -Multiclod Infromenture(NCM-MCI)。我也是VMware虚拟化专业人员的认证专业人员。
Can you walk us through the process of getting your NCX certification?
该过程很简单。首先,需要实现NCA,NCP和NCM认证(EX NCAP)。我在2019 - 2020年Beta计划中获得的所有这些认证。然后,您需要参加ECSD新兵训练营,在那里您将了解设计方法并参与基于现实情况的设计解决方案。在新兵训练营期间,我了解到为什么您要做的事情也很重要。此外,这是在队友面前展示您的解决方案的好习惯。在新兵训练营的结尾,您将收到NCX演示模板。
我认为ECSD是我职业生涯中参加的最好的培训之一。我在博客中写了有关我的ECSD经验的文章About how I visited the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Solution Design vBoot Camp.它是用俄语编写的,但可以通过Google轻松翻译(左下角的翻译按钮)。
下一步是根据NCX考试蓝图指南选择该演示文稿的项目并创建您项目的演示文稿。演示文稿应包括蓝图有关项目各个方面的问题的答案。它还应包括概念和逻辑设计,确定的要求,约束,假设,风险和缓解,尺寸,备份,备份,迁移计划以及蓝图中包含的其他主题(总计约为20个)。这是一个重要的部分 - 您需要答复为什么项目中的每个使用决定。
I prepared my presentation with two main helpers -NCX考试蓝图指南and presentation template. I didn’t rush, and this process took about 6 months. Now I can say that this process can take a month or two depending on the project.
When the presentation is ready, the next step is to send it to npx@nutanix.com for review. If everything is ok, you will be invited to defend it.
当您向一群小组成员提出解决方案并回答他们的问题时,这是一个现场1.5小时的实时过程。这是我最大的恐惧之一,因为我对英语的口语做法很差,但是我做到了,而且顺利进行!防御后,您将在短时间内收到结果。就我而言,已经有几分钟了。
最后一步 - 庆祝!
您使用哪些工具/资源来准备认证,您对NCX流程有何看法?
我写了一篇有关我的NCX经验的文章,并留下了建议为Nutanix认证专家准备的一些技巧 - 多云基础设施考试. It is also in Russian.
这是我使用的主要资源:
ECSDBoot Camp:You’ll learn a lot about methodology, design, and presentation.
Exam Blueprint Guide:The guide outlines what you need to include in your presentation. If you use the guide, you’ll know what you already did and what you still need to work on. It's a great check-list for any project.
NCXPresentation Template: It will help to build a proper presentation
Nutanix Hybrid Cloud Reference Architecture:这将向您展示如何使用Nutanix构建良好的虚拟基础架构。
文档:该项目中使用的Nutanix和第三方供应商
Books fromIT Architect Series:I would especially recommend Foundation in the Art of Infrastructure Design.
我还想建议根据考试蓝图指南制定动作计划,并在准备过程中定期使用。
What advice would you give someone who is pursuing the NCX certification?
I want to share the advice I received: “Go for it. Regardless of the result, your skills will improve a hundred-fold by attempting NCX.” The hardest part of this journey is to start and a good action plan and timeline will help. Also, don’t hesitate to ask for help, if you need advice or even a review of your presentation.
我也想对Nutanix表示感谢,为您提供了许多学习和自我发展的机会,并且经常免费。我还要感谢Artur Krzywdzinski在新兵训练营获得的知识以及为NCX认证做准备的帮助。
