The location of VMware Security Advisories (VMSAs) has changed on May 6, 2024. They are now available from the Broadcom Support Portal. The legacy VMSA URLs still work but are now redirected to the portal, for example: https://www.vmware.com/security/advisories/VMSA-2024-0002.html points to https://support.broadcom.com/web/ecx/support-content-notification/-/external/content/SecurityAdvisories/0/23681.

We are. Where I am, the money men are (rightly) scared and we're looking at our options. I'm currently assessing Kubernetes as an alternative. The benefits to containerization are too great to ignore, but if we go that route, the workload to migrate our services is definitely going to sting for the next few months. Thanks Broadcom....

How about Proxmox? It allows containers and VMs. Containers via LXC, but you could set your own VM to run docker/kubernetes etc. Haven't had many chances to try Kuberbetes myself, so not sure the difference of advantages.

Yeah, I use Proxmox at home and however much I love the product, it's not really enterprise ready. There are too many missing features and 3rd party integrations that come as standard with vSphere. Our future is probably in microservices. The cost saving benefits of auto scaling, while also being vendor agnostic are very attractive.

Ye ol "free" hyper-v as well. Would probably be the next one I consider in a corporate environment after VMware just blew it's brains out. Containers are great, I run kubernetes at one on truenas scale but obviously it's Linux containers which may have some implications if the idea is to move everything off VMware to containers. Like if there are windows vms.
