VMware NSX useful resources

I'm trying to deep dive into VMware Network Virtualization (NSX) and I have decided to collect all useful resources I will find during my journey.

There are two NSX flavors. NSX-v and NSX-T. It is good to read NSX-v vs NSX-T: Comprehensive Comparison to understand differences.
