The basics of VMware Virtual Networking
Virtual Switches - Standard Switches
Virtual Distributed Switches - VDS Switches
A comparison of Standard and VDS Switches
How to install NSX-T Manager on vSphere

EXTRA VIDEO: How NSX-T can be used with Tanzu Kubernetes Grid (TKG)
Why take this course?
This course covers the basics of VMware virtual networking, including a comparison of Standard switches and VDS distributed switches.
We also cover creating a VDS across multiple VMware vSphere ESXi hosts
We then install NSX-T manager, and then build-out a 3-appliance NSX-T Management Cluster
This course is intended as an introduction to Virtual Networking and NSX-T Installation, taken before a more detailed NSX-T training course.
(We install and configure and NSX-T Management Cluster, but don't actually deploy any additional NSX-T networking services)
