NB: please note that the degraded status in the dashboard is specific to my lab and doesn’t reflect any issue in the product itself. I was changing a lot of the underlying network configuration during the redaction of this post.

…and more in the release notes.

This release brings NSX-T up to speed and I’m really excited to test it further, especially load balancing feature and the Kubernetes integration. The 1st upgrade I tested went smoothly (thank you upgrade coordinator!).

Stay tuned for more NSX-T posts in the near future! 😉
