Preparing for the Nutanix Certified Professional – Multicloud Infrastructure 7.5 (NCP-MCI 7) Exam

The Nutanix Certified Professional – Multicloud exam has been updated to version 7.5, which means updating the prep guide to the latest document versions.

This guide describes the methodology I am using in preparing for certification exams, and it could be used for other Nutanix exams as well.
