![]() ![]() The latter is an application whitelisting type technology that works in conjunction with NSX.ĪppDefense baselines an operating system and learns which activity can be considered normal. VMWARE QUICKBOOT FLAG PLUSVMware vSphere Platinum Edition is a new offering for vSphere 6.7 U1 that effectively combines VMware vSphere Enterprise Plus and VMware AppDefense. Looks pretty convenient to me! vSphere Platinum Edition with AppDefense Once the updates arrive, admins will apply new VM templates. Content Libraries enable to subscribe all those small data centers to the updates released by the main one. Let’s say, you are an admin in small data center who has to stick to regulations of the large one. Why is it great to see this feature? It comes in handy when you need to adhere to some regulations of virtual infrastructure administration. Additionally, Content Library natively supports VM templates and some operations associated with them (i.e., deploying VM right from Content Library). Unfortunately, you cannot synchronize the templates themselves, but I guess that VMware soon will come up the way of doing that. While importing OVAs, Content Library handles and their certificate and manifest files in adherence to security best practices. You also can just sync the content of OVA templates to other vCenter Servers. Open Virtual Appliance (OVA) templates can now be imported from some HTTPS endpoint or your local storage. Looks wonderful! Content LibrariesĮnhanced Content Libraries is another important thing about vSphere 6.7 U1. From now on, I/O controller firmware is updated together with host drivers. VMWARE QUICKBOOT FLAG UPDATECluster Quickstart involves setting up High Availability and Distributed Resource Scheduler, Enhanced vMotion Compatibility, vSAN datastores, and networking including vSphere Distributed Switch.Īnother important improvement is integration of I/O controller firmware update with vSphere Update Manager (VUM). It is also good for applying identical settings on all hosts and finding any configuration inconsistencies across the environment. This feature comes in handy when you need to provision an ESXi cluster quickly, or just add some extra hosts to it. In vSphere 6.7 U1, VMware has added the Cluster Quickstart feature ,allowing to initialize a cluster, add hosts to it, and set up identical configurations on each of them. Some enhancements for vSAN and HCI on the whole The utility is supplied together with vCenter Server Appliance Server (vCSA) and can be set up via the JSON file. To run vCenter Server Convergence Tool, simply deploy the vcsa-converge-cli command. People just got used to complex architectures so much that did not want to waste their time migrating to the simpler ones.Īnother nice thing about vCenter Server Convergence Tool is its ability to migrate vCenter with embedded PSC from one Single Sign-On (SSO) domain to another allowing flexibly to distribute SSO domains across the infrastructure. So, users just kept on using complex infrastructures of external PSCs with replication between the platforms even though embedded PSCs featured ELM starting with vSphere 6.5 U2. Wait, what was so remarkable about external PSCs? Historically, external PSCs supported Enhanced Linked Mode (ELM) earlier than embedded ones. To me, it seems that VMware just tires to encourage users to shift to embedded PSCs. Furthermore, VMware has added vCenter Server Convergence Tool to facilitate migrations from an external PSC to an embedded one. vSphere 6.7 features an embedded PSC that has a much simpler architecture than an external one. vCenter Server Convergence Toolīefore, VMware strongly recommended using an external Platform Services Controller (PSC). Now, I guess, it’s time to get more specific. vMotion for NVIDIA Quadro Virtual GPU Data Center Workstation (Quadro vDWS) and support of Intel Field-programmable gate array (FPGA).At last, a fully-featured HTML 5 interface.Better VMware vSAN and functionality and new capabilities for hyper-converged infrastructures.Here are some of them that I consider really interesting: With U1, VMware brought a lot of cool things to vSphere 6.7. Honestly, I could not make it shorter as I wanted it to provide the entire picture of changes that were brought to vSphere 6.7 platform with U1. Well, I guess that this article is kinda of a long read. vSphere 6.7 U1 is the most up-to-date version of this virtualization platform so far, thus it is good to know its new features to predict what to expect of the upcoming versions. ![]() You know, I am really happy to, finally, find some time to take a thorough look at it. Some time ago, VMware released VMware vSphere 6.7 U1. ![]()
