VMware vSphere Clustering Service (vCLS) was introduced in the vSphere 7 Update 1 release with the idea of creating a decoupled and distributed control plane for clustering services in vSphere.

But with VMware vSphere 8.0.3, the vSphere Clustering Service (vCLS) will be “migrated” with a new Embedded vSphere Cluster Service model.

When you create a virtual machine or upgrade an existing virtual machine, you use the virtual machine compatibility setting to select the ESXi host versions that the virtual machine can run on.

The compatibility setting determines the virtual hardware available to the virtual machine, which corresponds to the physical hardware available on the host. Virtual hardware includes BIOS and EFI, available virtual PCI slots, the maximum number of CPUs, the maximum memory configuration, and other characteristics. New virtual hardware capabilities are typically released once a year with major or minor releases of vSphere.

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. Maybe they will choose again to create minor version, like 9.1…
