Conclusion

Chapter 9. Conclusion

By now you should have a pretty good understanding about NSX and should feel comfortable in using it. In this book, we went over the basics and step-by-step deployment of NSX and its features. It is important to understand that this is not the end, but in fact the beginning of the NSX ecosystem. There is a lot more to learn and understand about NSX, but the preceding eight chapters will give you a head start.

There are lots of other articles about NSX that are worth reading along with this book. In this conclusion chapter, I will list these recommended articles; I suggest you go through them to get a better understanding of NSX features and use cases:

  • First there is always VMware's NSX documentation. NSX documentation is very well written and has a lot of information that will further help you. More specifically, you should read up on the administration guide. The administration guide is available at:
