VCF9 NSX-Edge Setup – What has changed

A few weeks ago, I described in the blog https://vrealize.it/2025/06/02/vcf-nsx-edge-setup-aus-netzwerksicht/ how the NSX Edges in VCF5.x are deployed via the SDDC Manager.
In my opinion, the interaction between the individual components has been improved in VCF9, making it more user-friendly. Some changes can also be seen in the interaction with NSX.
The installation of the NSX Manager and configuration of the overlay network on the ESX hosts is performed in VCF9 via VCF Operations. Edges can be installed and configured directly from vCenter. However, installation and configuration via the NSX Manager is still possible.

VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF for short) is a full-stack Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) platform that offers software-defined compute, storage, networking, security, and management.

Workload domains are created, configured, and managed using the SDDC Manager.

For the installation and management of a workload domain in VCF to work smoothly, a few infrastructure requirements must first be met. This article focuses on the data center network parameters. I also assume that the management domain has already been created using the SDDC Manager.

NSX VPCs

The introduction of VPCs (Virtual Private Cloud) at the network level provides a “self-service” for network, security and other network services in an isolated environment. Those responsible for the VPC can create networks and security rules (within their limits), thus relieving the burden on the network and security teams. It also enables the VPC owners to provide new services more quickly.
