With their getting started guide down here: https://github.com/VMwareFusion/vctl-docs/blob/master/docs/getting-started.md

Mike Roy also had some video shoots (one during vmworld, but he did another one.. let me see...)

VMware's Jeff Wu also wrote a piece about it here: https://medium.com/@jeff.wu.junfei/project-nautilus-a-new-container-runtime-d7c3574d2ae0
