VMware’s Ganapathi Bhat explains how VMware NSX-T Data Center 2.4 delivers consistent security policy across all workloads, on-premises and in public clouds such as AWS and Azure.

This session also covers advanced NSX-T 2.4 security features like context-aware firewalling (Layer 7 App-ID & User Session based), FQDN whitelisting, service insertion capabilities & simplified user interface.

The slides from @vmwareIoT's Arm at the Edge presentation at #MWC19 Barcelona are available for download.

This Technical White Paper covers how to build a nested lab with NSX-T 2.3 running in it, so that you can easily explore the VMware NSX platform. A nested hypervisor is the process of running a hypervisor inside another hypervisor… or an ESXi host in a virtual machine, running on an ESXi host.

A nested lab is like mini-datacenter that is a collection of virtual machines which provides a small area that won’t impact your production environment and doesn’t require a lot of expensive hardware or space, hence is extremely useful and cost-effective.

You can use Traceflow to inspect the path of a packet as it travels from one logical port on the logical network to another logical port on the same network. Traceflow traces the transport node-level path of a packet injected at a logical port. The trace packet traverses the logical switch overlay, but is not visible to interfaces attached to the logical switch. In other words, no packet is actually delivered to the test packet’s intended recipients. You can use the port connection tool to quickly visualize and troubleshoot the connection between two VMs.

So, effective immediately, the mandatory recertification requirement will be removed from all current certifications.
