Recently I was one of the presenters at the Sacramento VMUG. The topic of the night was Networking and VMware NSX. At the end of my time, I promised a list of web links to VMware NSX resources. Here we go:
VMware Walkthrough for NSX: http://featurewalkthrough.vmware.com/NSX/ – If you are not familiar with the VMware Walkthroughs; this is essentially a guided tour of the products and features.
VMware Hands-on Labs for NSX: http://blogs.vmware.com/networkvirtualization/2014/09/new-vmworld-2014-hands-labs-vmware-nsx-goodness.html – This is an introductory Blog Post that describes each of the new labs from VMworld 2014.

I am certain there are many more blogs/links for NSX. If you have a favorite that I haven’t included, leave a comment and I will add them.
Another new resource that was released on the 1st of November was Pluralsight’s NSX course with Jason Nash. Although that is a paid service I thought it was worth mentioning.
Awesome post!
