VMware has announced a new beta version of vSphere, but unlike its previous efforts, it does not require you to test a new version of Big Bang.
Virtzilla's announcement says: "This beta program is different from our previous programs as it is not tied to a specific version or version only."
"We're now moving to a beta program that, with the new beta community, will continue across multiple versions of vSphere, and attendees can expect to see new features and capabilities added on an ongoing basis for their feedback."
If you find it very difficult to manage, you will have the option to test hosted vSphere in "in a VMware hosted environment, taking advantage of predefined workflows". On-site installations will always be possible.
VMware does this because it has promised frequent updates to its vSphere-on-AWS service. As stated in the FAQ for this service, "ESXi running on VMware Cloud on AWS may have a higher update rate, which allows customers to benefit from regular service improvements."
Which is exactly what is expected of a cloud service these days!
If you wish to play, applications for the beta program can be made here.
VMware has also released VMware vCloud Availability 2.0, a code for service providers who want to exploit a disaster recovery solution as a service. ® .........
