vCloud Director - You Certifiable?

I saw recently posted on Twitter that VMware will be releasing a vCloud Director certification. http://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2012/01/vcloud-director-certification.html

Initial comments seemed to be mixed, including a comment about how this seemed pointless.  I do not wholly disagree with this sentiment but my bet is that this is going to be part of a much bigger picture.  I anticipate that this certification is going to be a valuable step towards the next level of VCDX defense.  I recall hearing rumor at some point that future VCDX submissions will require addressing cloud design and technologies.  I do not have direct evidence to support this mind you.

If this is the case then I definitely welcome a vCloud Director certification.  If not then I question the reader…Will this have value?  Interested in your feedback as well as future information released from VMware.

Note:  I get the impression that more certification news may be forthcoming from VMware during PEX next month.  I hope this is the case as I’m needing to figure out what my VCDX track may look like later this year!  I’ll try to make sure to post something once this information has been released.  Thanks for reading!
