VMware vSphere ESXi 8 update 1 is out!
We are urging everyone to take this milestone to upgrade your VMware vSphere environment. Build 21495797 was just released!
New Features
Supervisor Services are now available on VDS based Supervisors – Previously the avalaiblity of Supervisor Services was restricted to NSX based Supervisors only. With the current release, you can deploy Harbor, Contour, S3 object storage, and Velero Supervisor Services on VDS based Supervisors. Note: Supervisor Service capabilities on VDS based Supervisors require an ESXi update to 8.0 U1.
VM Service Support for all Linux Images – You can now use CloudInit to customize any linux image in OVF format conformant to the VM Service image specification as well as utilize OVF templating through vAppConfig to enable the deployment of legacy Linux images.
Web-Console Support for VM Service VMs – After deploying a VM Service VM, as a DevOps engineer you will now have the ability to launch a Web-console session for that VM by using kubectl CLI to enable troubleshooting and debugging within the guest OS without involving the vSphere admin to get access to guest VM.
Resolved Issues
Tanzu Kubernetes Grid 2.0 clusters provisioned with the v1beta1 API must be based on the default ClusterClass
If you are creating a Tanzu Kubernetes Grid 2.0 cluster on Supervisor by using the v1beta1 API, the Cluster must be based on the default tanzukubernetescluster ClusterClass. The system does not reconcile a cluster based on a different ClusterClass.
