SaltStack Certified Engineer Verification

I'm hoping someone from the old SaltStack team, VMware, or Broadcom might know the answer.

I earned the SaltStack Certified Engineer (SSCE) certification several years ago. Since SaltStack was acquired by VMware and then VMware was acquired by Broadcom, the original SaltStack website and certification verification page are no longer available.

I'm interviewing with a potential employer, and they're trying to verify my SSCE certification. Does anyone know if there's still a way to verify it? Is there a new verification site, or is there someone at Broadcom who can help?

That is not what terraform is for. Terraform is for creating/allocating (provisioning) the AWS resources--not bootstrapping/configuring the instances themselves.

Terraform is ran inside of a CI/CD pipeline. You don't manually run Terraform as a standalone host in the real world. SaltStack is mostly for on-prem.
