In the last blog post I wrote about my VCDX Journey I was in the week before submitting my actual complete VCDX submission kit. A lot happened since then, which finally resulted in the number I was striving for so hard! For me it has become number #290.

Since the beginning of this year I am working towards my VCDX-NV submission. Back in February this year, when I finished the conceptual part of my design I wrote a blog post about my complete journey. While writing the current blogpost we have arrived in the submission week of my VCDX. Coming Friday (26th) is the deadline of the VCDX submissions that are aiming for defenses in September. I would like to explain how I experienced my journey towards submission and what I would advise to others.

During the upgrade of ESXi in my NUC cluster I encountered an error that had something to with available space on the system disk(s). I have my ESXi installed on a USB device because I need to use both internal disks (2) for vSAN when I need it.
To resolve this issue I performed the following steps:
I hope this is useful for somebody. If there is anything to add or remark, please let me know!

Everyone who owns an Unifi product is familiar with SDN controller, the UI and how to configure it. When you need Jumbo Frames or MTU sizes above the default of 1500 you need to adjust your configuration. On the Unifi Switches this can easily be done from the controller UI itself. As you can see in the screenshot below (from my own Unifi SDN Controller), you only have to do one-click in order to enable it on the switch. This can be done on all the switches.
After working for ITQ for about three years, I will switch to AnyLinQ as of April 1, 2020. Although I am still very happy with ITQ, and I still saw enough perspective for myself, the offer and challenge that AnyLinQ presented me was something I could not refuse. That’s how it feels now.
The past 3 years at ITQ have been the most educational ones of my career, and ITQ has been the best employer I have had so far, I still decided to leave ITQ. It was a very difficult decision to make. My feeling says that I have to jump into it and go for this challenge. At AnyLinQ I will be working in the role of Senior Consultant/Architect, but also going to do some pre-sales and helping build and shape their internal “VMware practice”.
I keep pursuing my VCDX ambitions at AnyLinQ with the same motivation and ambition. My new employer will support my goal for the coming year, and my objective to do my defense in September 2020 will not change.
Looking back at my ITQ time, I am very grateful that I’ve been part of this amazing company with all the wonderful and knowledgeable people as colleagues. I want to thank ITQ for all the time and effort they invested in me, and the cool projects I have done. Because without them I would not have been the Senior IT Professional that I am today.
For now; I am very much looking forward to a new period, with new and different learning curves and my time at AnyLinQ.
