This week on the Virtually Speaking Podcast, Pete Flecha and John Nicholson sat down with networking experts Varun Santosh and Thomas Vignon to unpack what’s new with NSX in VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.0.

The conversation dives into the evolution of networking in VCF, with a spotlight on Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs)—a game-changing feature that brings public cloud-like networking to private cloud environments. Learn how VPCs simplify network deployment, enable self-service, and provide default isolation between workloads—all manageable directly from vCenter, without requiring deep networking expertise.

You’ll also hear about:

• NSX components now pre-installed on vSphere hosts in VCF 9, streamlining deployment and accelerating time to value
• Built-in workload mobility (formerly HCX), tightly integrated into the platform
• Container networking updates with Antrea
• A preview of what to expect from upcoming NSX sessions at VMware Explore

Whether you’re a VI admin, a cloud architect, or just curious about where private cloud networking is headed, this episode breaks it all down in practical, approachable terms.
