Wait, wait, wait...this is too good. You think it's ridiculous that someone recommended a book from 7 years ago when the edition you recommended is from 10 years ago? Especially when the page you linked indicates there's an update?
N-1kyz, don't let Cranky's inability to encourage newcomer's to this profession dissuade you. Thomas Limoncelli is fairly well-respected, and a great resource. That said, if you're looking for hands-on "type X to get Y result", you'll probably need to look at books with vSphere in the title where VMWare is concerned. This looks like a decent-ish one: https://www.amazon.com/VMware-vSphere-Host-Resources-Deep/dp/1540873064/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1500228935&sr=8-1&keywords=vsphere
Although I would recommend a Safari Books subscription for you as you will likely learn new terms and may want to jump around to a few different books to flesh out your early career.
This article is the most up to date information on the subject you are likely to find out in the blogs. It's written specific to vSphere 6.5, which is the most recent major version of vSphere as of this writing. Tons of other information out there is old and, while it may not be wrong, it might have bits and pieces that have changed since they were written.
If you really want a deep dive on the subject and more details than what everyone in this thread is providing, I highly recommend you pick up a copy of the Host Resources Deep Dive for vSphere 6.5 that takes these topics as far as you want to understand them. NUMA is covered extensively in the book (I read it a while back) and will give you so many performance tuning options that you'll wish you had enough time to test them all. :)
This book explains more than you ever want to know
