Any opinion on the is Class ?
Have to choose between VmWare 5.1 and F5 Configuring BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager (LTM) v11 !
Any advice would be helpful !
Just for information - Neither helps in my current role. I think F5 would be helpful in my intention to go for a Infosec career down the line.
VmWare keeps happening and is not very expensive in India. Costs me about 1000$ for the class and the exam. So that's alright when F5 costs me 3995$.

Having a foundation in the technology that runs most of the world's cloud infrastructure woudl be ideal, IMO. Go with the VMware course.IT guy since 12/00
Recent: 11/2019 - RHCSA (RHEL 7); 2/2019 - Updated VCP to 6.5 (just a few days before VMware discontinued the re-cert policy...)
Working on: RHCE/Ansible
Future: Probably continued Red Hat Immersion, Possibly VCAP Design, or maybe a completely different path. Depends on job demands... -

F5 is getting really hot. I had a briefing recently where they stated 80% of all Fortune 500 companies have F5 equipment somewhere on the network."The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept were toiling upward in the night." from the poem: The Ladder of St. Augustine, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

VMware is in 98% of the Fortune 1000. F5 has actually lost market share of the last 2 years to Citrix and Riverbed.CCIE Sec: Starting Nov 11 -

I've done the F5 course it's pretty good, although I'd go with VMware course, since it's a requirement for the VCP, might as well get it out of the way now while you have a chance. -

Thank you for the insight !
I am trying to get into a VmWare class in January Next year. If that gets approved I do both !
F5 certs pay good in India. There are a lot of VCP's but not a lot of F5 guys.
Today I shall decide after my Boss approves.Work In Progress - RHCA [ ] Certified Cloud Security Professional [ ] GMON/GWAPT if Work Study is accepted [ ]

In that case, go for the VCAP
