The current leader of my local VMUG really needs to step down. I thank him for his service, but the time has come for some new blood. His idea of a successful VMUG is bring in the sponsor, let them speak for 2 hours, have VMware provide an hour of product updates, eat dinner – WINNER! In addition, he is not willing to contact vendors to get sponsorship, he relies upon one of the local VMware employees to do that for him, which results in only one meeting per year. Not cool at all.

VCDX-NV Explained
The VCDX-NV “Blueprint” and “Handbook and Application” are now available at the VMware Certification site. I have blogged about VCDX-NV before and I tweeted the other day about VCDX-NV which generated quite a bit of conversation. This post summarises the points raised in that chat.
Ignore version 1.1 of “Handbook and Application”, it was a cut and paste of the DCV blueprint, they need to update the “Index to Highlights” to match the “Blueprint”. From the Blueprint you can see that the technology silos are:
- NSX Infrastructure Components
- Virtual Networking
- Physical Networking
- NSX Security
- NSX – Cloud Management Platform Integration
It makes sense that there is no requirement for Compute, Storage or Virtual Machines in your VCDX-NV design. So you can use any hypervisor that supports NSX, the only requirement is that you include NSX in your design.
