Thanks for the linkage Andre

I think Scott and i have covered pretty much all the best resources for the exams. Unless you have started your studying already for the VCAP4-DCA i would personally wait for the VCAP5-DCA

Hi

Well there are two official training courses for the VCAP5-DCA:

• VMware vSphere – Fast Track
  
• VMware vSphere – Optimize and Scale [v5] – Available Summer 2012
  

As for videos i'm sure there will be but i haven't seen any official mention. Although seeing as the exam is going to be about 70% the same as the VCAP4-DCA you can use all the VCAP4 videos out there:

• VMware vSphere: Troubleshooting [V4]
  
• VMware vSphere: Manage for Performance [V4]
  
• VMware vSphere: Manage and Design for Security
  
• VMware vSphere: Automation with vSphere PowerCLI
  

I've done a breakdown of the VCAP5-DCA blueprint if your interested:

You can also use the vSphere 5 trainsignal videos to fill the gaps from vSphere 4 to 5

Any Idea?

Tahnks,

The beta will start soon (not sure when).

So probably there will be at least 2-3 months before the official exam.
