Do we have any prerequesties ?
|
|
|
You are welcome to take IBM Cloud Advocate if you would like more background, but there are no prerequisites. Find the IBM Cloud Advocate (and all our training) can be found at: https://www.ibm.com/training/cloud/jobroles
|
|
Hi. There are no prerequisites. However, having a technical background or having completed Cloud Advocate as Millie has said is helpful.
|
|
Do we get a help on this by getting a right mentor who can assist through this training?
|
|
|
Hi Vinay, we'll talk later about the IBM Community - you can join that and use it to post questions that our experts wil see and answer - you can start a discussion from there.
|
|
Does this study jam can replace the IBM Cloud Technical Advocate learning plan?
|
|
|
No - this covers the content at speed. You should also study the material at ibm.com/training/cloud to make sure you have the best chance of passing the exam
|
|
|
|
Can we get any dummy account for learning and testing?
|
|
|
If you check out the content at ibm.com/training/cloud, there are several labs available. All will require you to have an IBM Cloud account but they either use free services or where they are paid-for services, you will do those in an IBM-owned environment
|
|
|
|
|
|
could you also explain the difference in certification prepration between IBM Advocate and IBM Technical Advocate for those who alrady certified as Cloud Advocate
|
|
|
The preparation is similar. For Cloud Technical Advocate, we offer this jam, an online curriculum (courses), study prep material, and quizzes. We recommend that you take advantage of these offerings before you take the exam.
|
|
The cost of the exam is $200 but it may be able to be reimbursed so check with your people manager on the on the policy for your organization. You can take the exam in person at a testing center or virtually.
|
|
|
|
what is the difference in this study jam compared to the IBM CLoud Advocate
|
|
|
Cloud Advocate is for beginners to Cloud. Cloud Technical Advocate assumes you have complated Cloud Advocate or have a technical background.
|
|
The jams and preparation are similar and Technical Advocate builds on (is a next step up) from Cloud Advocate.
|
|
|
|
What is cost of certification exam? Is it virtual exam or need to physically go into testing center?
|
|
|
The fee to take the certification exam one time is either $100 USD or $200 USD, depending upon your country.

|
|
|
Will there be questions on other case studies than two indlided in learning plan; AA and Rotterdam?
|
|
|
No, we only ask questions based on the content that is available in the Cloud Technilca Advocate course at ibm.com/trainin/cloud
|
|
|
|
What is difference between scalability and flexibility?
|
Well, scaling is really a type of flexibility – scaling is the ability to increase or decrease the amount of resources you have provisioned, based on the load placed on your service. For example, during peaks, you might scale up or out and increase the number or servers or capacity in your servers to cope. When that peak drops again, you scale back by reducing the number of servers you have or their capacity.
|
|
Looks like you have to fill out the exam registration form to get to the pricing? Is there a place I can just see the exam pricing without having to fill out the registration form?
|
|
|
The fee to take the certification exam one time iseither $100 USD or $200 USD, depending upon yourcountry.

|
|
Does CaaS still used?
|
|
|
We don't talk about Containers as a Service in this course - in general, this fits into the Platform as a Service category
|
|
|
|
|
|
What are the SAAS Services Provided by IBM Cloud ?
|
|
|
Too many to list here :) Perhaps I try and answer this in an 'after hours' video!
|
|
|
|
What are the PAAS Services Provided by IBM Cloud ?
|
|
|
And the same here - to many to list here, so let's look at those later
|
|
|
|
|
|
What are the IAAS Services Provided by IBM Cloud ?
|
|
|
Here, we're talking about Classic infrastructure, VPC, etc.... we'll cover this more fully in an 'after hours' video
|
|
|
|
|
|
Is DBaaS, a SaaS or PaaS?
|
|
|
That tends to be PaaS
|
|
|
|
|
|
so far all of the material is the exactly the same as what i studied for the IBM CLoud Advocate Exam
|
|
|
There is a close cross-over in the early part of the course - the latter bits get into more technical detail than the Cloud Advocate course
|
|
|
|
|
|
Do the study materials include a glossary or acronyms list for our reference? Will the questions on the exam use acronyms?
|
|
|
Yes, the study materials do spell out any acronyms. The exam questions have a bit of a mix - so you wil be expected to know what IaaS, PaaS, SaaS stand for, for example
|
|
|
|
Why not we are lisiing VM Ware solution as Core IBM Cloud ?
|
|
|
Mainly because this is an advocate level course. It's an important service within IBM Cloud and it features later on in the course.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What is HIPAA?
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
where can I get more information about the VPC, please do share if any course on VPC is available too
|
|
|
You can go to cloud docs (cloud.ibm.com/docs) to find out more information on VPC - we also have a few VPC labs in the on-line learning course that you can try
|

|
|
Hi James, a quick question
|
|
|
Are there any specific IBM Cloud certification for Compliance practitioners?
|
|
|
We have a Cloud Secuirty Engineer certification exam - this will cover things like compliance. There's a Jam for this next week!
|
|
|
|
Is there a way we can print flash cards?
|
|
|
You can download study materials via the ICCT webste - ibm.com/training/cloud - there are flash cards available there :)
|
|
|
|
So IBM cloud has 99.999% availability, which implies <5 minutes delay in 1 year. How this calculation is happeining or in other words how to convert the availability percentage to maximum outage limit ?
|
|
|
So this is based on running services across more than one multi-zone regions. A multi-zone region alone has a 99.99% availability and of course, you need to build your application to take advantage of that.
|
|
You will need a global load balancer to balance load across regions - so you might have 2 VPCs, each running in one multi-zone region - these can individually balance across the zones in it's region but using a Global LB, you can load across the two regions

|
Certification cost not free for IBMers ?
|
|
|
If you are an IBMer, you can normally claim the cost of the exam back through the expenses process - check with your manager first, though
|
|
|
|
Does the cert exam cover topics related to IBM Certificate Manager? i ask because IBM Certificate Manager was deprecated earlier this year in favor of IBM Secrets Manager.
|
|
|
Hi Scott, we try to make sure that questions related to depricated services are removed from the learning and exam but in some cases, it can take a little time to filter through. If the topic is in the learning at cloud.ibm.com/training/cloud, then there may be a question on it but this exam will not expect you to know such a service in detail
|
|
|
|
do we have any certifications path for certain role like developer, admin at IBM cloud?
|
|
|
We certainly do - we have Architect, Developer and Site Reliability Engineer
|
|
check out ibm.com/training/cloud for more info
|
|
|
|
Code Anywhere is also a Service ? I could not find in catalog though.
|
|
|
No - that's not a named IBM Cloud service - it really refers to the fact that you can code from anywhere, place it into a Git repository or similar and then run it on the IBM Cloud, straight from the repo, using a service like Code Engine, for example
|
|
|
|
|
|
Will we see any practival/Lab?
|
|
|
Not on the sessions this week, - though I may record some 'after hours' sessions which could show a lab, if there's something in particluar you are interested in. The courseware also has hands-on labs available for you to try - so check out ibm.com/training/cloud for the full course and the labs

what is the difference between cloud advocate and technical advocate?
|
|
|
Cloud Advocate is for beginners to Cloud. Cloud Technical Advocate assumes you have complated Cloud Advocate or have a technical background.
|
|
The cloud advocate exam is for people that tend to be in non-technical roles and / or are startng out with cloud computing, without any previous experience. The Technical Advocate exam builds on that but goes into more technical detail on services - it will help you provide the glue between technical and non-technical roles in the workplace by understanding the key concepts and some technical detail to implement solutions

what is the meaning of seperates compute and storage functionality in apache hadoop
|
|
|
So here, the Analytics Engine service provides both compute and storage but they don't come from the same physical machine - they are separated out, which makes the service more efficient and cost effective
|
|
|
|
What is Power Sys VM ?
|
These are virtual machines that run on IBM's Power chipset. They support the AIX, IBM I and Power Linux operating systems.
|
|
|
|
Suppose I need some VM, then how will get to know which VM to select from Vast Variety of VM ?
|
|
|
Well, yes, it does depend on the use case. We give details of use cases in the docs which help - but experience also comes in to play too

|
What is IOPS ?
|
|
|
Input Output Operations Per Second - relates to disk speed
|
|
