I hope that you and yours are staying safe, and that you enjoyed the first installment of our V4Free series where we went over vRealize Operations Manager.
Our next installment focuses on the Virtual Cloud Networking and specifically VMware NSX. I would like to thank James from our team in collecting and pulling all of this content together. Getting through all of the topics below should take you about 8 hours.
Along with content all over the web, VMware has created a Techzone for NSX (see links below) which has a lot more curated and free NSX content.
