With the recent release of VMware vSphere 7, there is a wide array of new features and enhancements that round out this version of vSphere.
VMware vSphere 7 comes with native Kubernetes. From this version, enterprises can run all their applications on a common platform using a combination of virtual machines, containers, and Kubernetes. Also, it delivers all the essential services for the modern hybrid cloud to run the existing enterprise applications. This brings a massive improvement in the work experience of the developers and operators.
Aside from these, there are improvements across the board especially in areas of Lifecycle Management, Security, Performance, and Resiliency.
Notably, the vSphere 7 announcement created a buzz among the users who use third-party backup vendors. They are looking forward to getting an update from their vendors to support vSphere 7 which will allow them to continue backup and replication of their VMware VMs without any hassle.
