Just assembling some KB article references for client documentation. This is one of the best KB articles for getting started.
Use the sequence from here and then work on the details with each individual product as you go.

New vSphere 6.0 resources page
Recently, I have been busy preparing to teach an onsite vSphere 6 Install, Configure and Manage course and working with a client on a SDDC project that is being designed for deployment on vSphere 6. As a result, I have been looking at VMware resources for class and customers and have put together a page with the items I have found the most relevant (so far). Among the usual items like the online documentation and KB articles, VMware has an excellent set of vSphere 6.0 product walkthroughs and free elearning courses. The new vSphere 6 resources page is here. As I spend more time with students and customers on vSphere 6, I will make additions to the page.
VMware KB: Implementing CA signed SSL certificates in vSphere 6.0
VMware KB: Implementing CA signed SSL certificates in vSphere 6.0.
This is a big change from previous CA/PKI components provided from VMware.

VMware KB: vRealize Operations Manager Sizing Guidelines
I ran across this today as I was working with a customer on migrating from vCOPS 5.8 to vRO 6. The sizing for vRealize Operations Manager 6.x is definitely different from 5.x.
