Following my last post about Vmware Valitaded Design, I’m happy to review a Nikhil Kelshikar‘s post in his blog allowing us to build a compliant design including NSX feature.
Well, it was already in the last design references, but this integration includes new features such as:
- Routing Design
- Security Policy Design
- Sizing Guidance
I don’t want to overlap Nikhil’s post, so I’ll just write down my first impressions on this update.
First of all it covers vSphere 6.0, and if you’re planning a new SDDC it’s mandatory.
I think that a section of best practices will help all of them (us) involved in a practical SDDC design, allowing to adapt plans according to that rules. The theory explained in the previous issue is great, but a practical guide is even better.
In few words, we can consider this update as a series of advises, a kind of validation for the theory in terms of routing and security, a strong help for architects and a good read for all of those that want to understand better how NSX works in a real environment, maybe even as a smart help for VCP-NV study.
