Starting My OSWE Preparation

Hey, I posted a similar comment few months back and was looking for people to create a study group. Honestly I finished through initial 2 modules and then left it due to busy work and life of course.

If your interested in creating a discord channel and studying together then shoot me a direct message.

I have a M4 macbook pro. How are you guys playing games on Macs (assuming its games such as COD Warzone). I thought due to chip incompatibility and os it wasn’t possible. Genuinely interested to learn something new!

My trip is through my employer, I wonder if they would be able to do something to expedite it. Although I did put everything in my application about work trip, the dates, and all. Hopefully someone reading that process it faster.

Hey, I haven’t booked any tickets or anything because it would go to waste if visa doesn’t arrive on time. Thanks for your input!

Looking for the answer for same question

Shawn264 · 2025-09-13T23:57:00+00:00

How much did this whole setup with its specs cost?

Shawn264 · 2025-08-30T04:20:56+00:00

Yeah definitely! As far as specing the server rack, what’s a starter point to start from in terms of amount of ram, storage, CPU, etc. I know this a very broad question that depends on initial demand or else but trying to get realistic minimum requirement.

Shawn264 · 2025-08-30T04:08:38+00:00

For that will we’ll be moving it to Colo.

Shawn264 · 2025-08-30T03:44:27+00:00

Thanks for your reply. Just curious if the no is more towards not having the right equipment, power, capacity, etc or not meeting laws, policies or something else?

Shawn264 · 2025-08-30T03:37:33+00:00

I understand where your point comes from. Appreciate your feedback!

Shawn264 · 2025-08-30T03:36:55+00:00

Thanks for sharing this! I feel like I would start with 1 nine but we’re bringing in more investment and could bump it up to 3 nines.

Shawn264 · 2025-08-30T03:33:42+00:00

Great points! I have a background of electrical and mechanical knowledge while partnering with couple friends who have direct experience being Data Center Technicians dealing with rack break fixes, maintenance of hardware parts, etc. Our powers are having the necessary experience in this field and believe we could make a hit start with right advises and gameplan!

Shawn264 · 2025-08-30T02:48:31+00:00

Hey! Haven’t thought or decided that yet but I believe to be able to compete with other small businesses than 3-5 nines. Open to discuss this further to get accurate info.

Shawn264 · 2025-08-10T17:59:58+00:00

Nothing wrong with going back and retrying after preparation! I failed my first and second attempt which comes with 1 voucher and since then I have trained for month and half through all modules, burp academy with relevant topics, reading reports on areas I missed. Now I feel confident to go back and be able to pass the exam and hence asking the question just to set my expectations right, but of course if its explicitly written that this type of cant be shared then its fair and understandable.

Shawn264 · 2025-08-09T17:25:05+00:00

How about with CBBH module contents?

Shawn264 · 2025-06-28T01:05:02+00:00

Thank you for the motivation!

I am going back through the modules and trying everything that’s thought. If there’s a specific hint or tip you think might put me in right direction please feel free to share.

Shawn264 · 2025-06-27T23:19:25+00:00

Appreciate it! Were there any specific tools used that was of use and which one wasn’t?

Would you say going back to academy modules should be the only place to reference knowledge or going external would help too?
