Over the time, there has been quite a large choice of free books about VMware NSX products. In this post, we'll try to details them and provide download links. Those books were reviewed by VMware and published under VMware Press. So let's have a look at VMware NSX – Top 9 Free Books To Read.
VMware NSX has two product lines. NSX and NSX-T. Where NSX is tailored for environments running VMware vSphere, NSX-T is designed for multi-hypervisor environments. NSX-V is part of a software-defined data center and it needs VMware vCenter server as it's tightly integrated into.
The latest release of NSX-T has introduced Geneve protocol to create tunnels across transport nodes, and that's where the overlay traffic flows. NSX-V on the other hands continues to use VXLAN.
Now let's get back to our Free E-books collection. This collection is no means to be exhausting. There might be other free books or guides about NSX, but I think this is pretty huge already to get started with -:).
