Feature Walk Through - VMware Products

As a VMware instructor, I spend a lot of time looking at resources and trying to find resources that will be useful to my delegates.

The VMware Product Walkthroughs are one of the resources I check quite a bit.

The site has resources for the majority of VMware products in a useful centralised location.

Examples of products include:

VMC on AWS
vSAN
NSX
vSphere

Definitely worth looking at if you find yourself with a few free minutes
