VMware flushes Adobe Flash in new HTML 5 web client for vSphere

Administrators have a great march: first update released VMware vSphere 6.o 2, with a new management interface host HTML 5. And now he is released from an HTML 5 for vCenter interface.

The new client is a "Fling", the name of VMware for unsupported and do not run the code in production quality thinking vAdmins appreciate. Flings are often used as de facto beta test and is the case here:

VMware said he wanted to get the code against the ASAP customers, looking forward to feedback from users and promises reasonably common changes in code. Meaning that walks like a bet and quacks like a beta ... you know the rest.

VMware has joined the "we are much more flash garbage leaking" brigade in this press apology writes that "The decision to go with Flash was there years before and development tools HTML5 were ready. The situation has changed, and who worked very hard on eliminating dependence flash to improve performance, stability and security. "

For now, the Fling is as follows:

•  Power Operations VM (common cases)
•  Edit the virtual machine configuration (single CPU, memory, disk changes)
•  VM Console
•  Pages VM Host and summary
•  VM Migration (only one host)
•  Clone to Template / VM
•  Create virtual machine on a host (limited)
•  Additional views monitoring (performance charts, tasks, events)
•  Global Views (recent works, alarms are only)

VMware said new look client is called "clarity" and is also in beta. Here it is, embiggenable
To play with the client, you must install the OVA virtual device in which it is packaged, available here on the top left of the page.

vAdmins customers complained against web-based VMware management for years. Virtzilla now expect grunting can be implied, since tested this new client.
