Whatever you enjoy more ... Just because X is more in demand now, doesn't mean it is in demand in 12 months time. Do what you enjoy and become a SME....

Neither. VCP: DCV is.

EDIT: most demanding or most in demand? Different meaning. If you meant harder, depends on what you dont have experience with. I'd find the Cloud one harder.

And I didn't even need to study for the cloud

Edit: OK, did the IaaS, not the full cloud so I skipped the whole vCAC thing.

I would go with DT if I were you.

Both EUC and Cloud are in demand, but when you look at the needs for each now and in the short term future, there is better alignment with VMware's certification track on the former. Basically, the cloud stuff is really going through a big shift right now with the move from vCD to vCAC/vRealize.

Also I think there is a much bigger hurdle to overcome in order to be at marketable proficiency in vCAC/vCO as compared to the EUC domain.

As for certification difficulty, I've worked with both products, taken both exams and consider the cloud (IaaS exam) to have been far easier. My impression was that anyone with a light overview of vCD and knowledge of networking should be able to pass just fine. I felt that the DT exams required more experience and rote memorization (loads of GPOs and minor settings.).
