SUSE invited me as Beta tester for the new SUSE Certified Deployment Specialist in SLES High-Availability 15 Exam. It was my pleasure to provide feedback and help to improve the Exam. Nice side effect that I also passed :) One more to go before I'm back at 100% SUSE certified ;)
Preparation was as usual, I mainly used the official SUSE Lecture and Lab Guide. I like to read them on my tablet at the evening and find that more convenient than watching videos.
Summary:
Demonstrates knowledge of how to plan the deployment of an HA cluster, deploy the cluster and perform post deployment configuration and testing.
