VCAP-CID and CIA Updates?

[ncolyer]

Any news on when we can expect updates to the VCAP Cloud Certifications? Everything still seems to be based on vCloud Director and not vCAC/vRealize.

VCP-Cloud (VCPC550) includes vCAC 5.2. 

We continually assess the certification exams and work to keep them relevant.

Can someone please recommend a suitable study guide for VCPC550?

I did consider purchasing VMware's "VCP-Cloud Official Cert Guide" (ISBN-10:  0789751652), however this guide primarily covers vCloud Director and not vCAC.

At some point, I would like to go for the exam once I have gained more hands on experience.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the response. I already have a VCP, I'm actually going down the VCDX Cloud Path. Just seems silly to have to go deep into vCloud Director when vCAC (vRealize Automation) is the main focus now.

Is there a roadmap for updates to the VCAP Cloud certs or would you recommend just taking them as they are now?

Everybody is looking forward to Cloud Certifications on vCAC 6 but VMware is not giving any indication when they will be released. Neither any Road map is released for Cloud Certification on vCAC 6.
