Broadcom has just announced the General Availability (GA) of VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.0, the platform for the modern private cloud. And also has just announced the General Availability (GA) of VMware vSphere Foundation (VVF) 9.0.

Currently, vSphere 9.0 features are only available as part of VMware vSphere Foundation 9.0 and VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0. There is not yet an independent VMware vSphere 9.0 version.

Note that the new products are already in GA… seems that for version 9.0 Broadcom is not using the VMware vSphere 8.0 IA/GA release model.

VCF and VVF 9.0 deliver a single unified platform that supports all applications—traditional, modern, or AI—with consistent operations, governance, and controls across the private cloud environment.

With VCF and VVF 9.0, customers benefit from a modern private cloud that:

• Accelerates innovation with out-of-box self-service offerings and a consistent experience that frees development teams to focus on applications instead of infrastructure.
• Controls cost through deep visibility and insights into resource usage that allow better planning, predicting, and optimization of cloud spend.
• Enables sovereignty and security with data control that supports better compliance, cyber resilience at scale and fleet-level management that helps ensure the latest patches are applied quickly, security controls are up to date, and policy compliance continues.
