I’m using the following list of links to study for my VCAP6-NV exam:

The official VMware Exam Blueprint is located here so be sure to check it out as part of your study!.

Note: Due to the fact my homelab environment is running vSphere 6.5, i’m using NSX 6.3.x rather than 6.2.x. Therefore, the majority of configuration examples will be identical but there maybe some subtle differences.
