vSphere 6.5 & 6.7 – End of General Support
Don’t forget that vSphere 6 is phasing out, and that most people should be moving to vSphere 7.
So far, vSphere 7.0.3 Update 3c seems to be very stable.
vSphere 6.5 & 6.7 End Of General Support ends October 15, 2022
This only leaves just under 3 months to get to vSphere 7.
VMware End of Support pages are here.
Don’t forget that SD cards are no longer recommended by VMware!
That means you need SSD or NVMe for boot drives now!
vSphere+ and vSAN+?
There is a promise for all perpetual licenses to be taken into account when transitioning to the VMware Subscription model, which is why I personally believe this new “offering” exists.
Speaking with others in the community, there are mixed feelings on this.
Still too early to tell.
Still, VMworld (ok, VMware Explore) is only 7 weeks out, so I’m sure I can figure it out by then, and give feedback to VMware.
If you have thoughts on this, let me know so I can share them with VMware leadership…..
