Build a career in VMware NSX and VCF 9
Practical guidance for engineers who want to work on modern private cloud and network virtualisation.
A path from networking basics to VCF 9
You do not need to know NSX to start. You need solid foundations, then hands-on practice, in the right order.
Networking foundations
IP addressing and subnetting, VLANs, switching, routing, BGP basics and how firewalls make decisions. NSX builds directly on these.
Virtualisation foundations
How hosts, vCenter, storage and virtual machine networking fit together, since NSX and VCF run on top of them.
VMware NSX
Segments, Tier-0 and Tier-1 gateways, distributed firewall and micro-segmentation, load balancing and troubleshooting.
VMware Cloud Foundation 9
How the platform is designed, deployed, upgraded and operated day to day, and how NSX fits into the full stack.
