What tools did you use to create or practice ACI / UCS? Is dcloud enough for IE data center or you need an actual LAB or do a rack rental? I'm hoping you'll share or make a video the resources required for IE DC. Thank you

[@RichTechGuy]

I primarily use dCloud & the DevNet Sandbox labs to practice with ACI & UCS. However, I wouldn't say that it is enough for the CCIE lab exam and would recommend a rack rental, best I've seen is from INE. Also someone on my team passed the DC CCIE last October and he used INE for lab practice.

Is it compulsory to complete the degree to write ccnp exam

[@RichTechGuy]

There is no Degree requirement for the CCNP. Just pass the Core exam and a specialist exam in the same track.
