A lot of great changes have happened to the vCSA over the past few years.\u00a0 It can now run significantly more hosts\/vms.\u00a0 There are less steps involved in spinning it up as opposed to the Windows version.\u00a0 And NOW (finally!) one of the last reasons for keeping the windows version around has been addressed:\u00a0 vUM!\u00a0 VCSA 6.5 now has Update Manager integrated.\u00a0 You can now upgrade from 5.5 or 6.0 (windows OR appliance) to 6.5, including vDS configuration.\u00a0 It has a brand new HTML5 web client, though it doesn\u2019t yet have feature parity with the old version, that will be addressed.<\/p>\n
VMware Cross-Cloud services<\/strong><\/p>\n This is the thing that I\u2019m the most excited about and the one that has me asking \u201cWhat took you so long?\u201d.\u00a0 Cross-cloud services will enable connectivity to public cloud providers for the \u201cseamless integration of workloads\u201d.\u00a0 It will enable you to (for example) run your DB on premises, your application tier in AWS, and your web front end in Azure.\u00a0 I asked some of the AWS guys here about the technical details but they haven\u2019t been ironed out quite yet.\u00a0 This offering is slated to be available\u00a0\u201cMid 2017\u201d and will be purported to also have \u201cElastic DRS\u201d \u2013 an ecosystem that allows you to burst across clouds.\u00a0 In the event of a workload spike, you would be able to provision more VMs locally via vRA and use Auto-Scale Groups to increase the number of EC2 instances in AWS to handle the increased demand.\u00a0 VMware also announced that NSX micro-segmentation would also function within the public cloud providers \u2013 this will give you additional security granularity on top of native firewalls, security groups and network access \u00a0control lists.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n More to come!
