Minimally Qualified Candidate

The Minimally Qualified Candidate (MQC) is a conceptualization of the certification candidate that possesses the minimum knowledge, skills, experience, and competence to meet our expectations of a credentialed individual. The MQC achieving the 3v0-32.21 Questions VMware Certified Advanced Professional – Cloud Management and Automation Design 2021 (VCAP-CMA Design) certification is capable of developing a conceptual design given a set of customer requirements, determining the functional requirements needed to create a logical design, and architecting a physical design using these elements. They are typically designers or architects, capable of translating business requirements into a cloud management solution using vRealize Suite components. The successful candidate can design a solution that integrates vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager, vRealize Automation, vRealize Orchestrator, vRealize Operations, and vRealize Log Insight. The successful candidate possesses an understanding of public and private cloud design concepts, including multi-tenancy, governance and compliance. The successful candidate usually has five or more years of general IT experience and at least two years’ experience designing vRealize cloud management solution in accordance with VMware recommended practices. The candidate will likely hold one or more industry-recognized general IT certifications. The candidate holds a VMware Certified Professional - Cloud Management and Automation certification and demonstrates the knowledge contained in the VCAP-CMA Design exam blueprint.
