After some months from the announce, finally VMware vSphere 6.7 Update 1 is now generally available (GA) and you can now download all the bits. Of course, this also mean a new version of the VMware vSAN 6.7 Update 1.

But more importantly it means also a fully featured vSphere Client with the new version of the HTML5 client in vSphere 6.7 Update 1! There is a bunch of videos available on YouTube with all the HTML5 client features.

But before read more, note that actually Veeam Backup and Replication does not support vSphere 6.7 Update 1, due to a critical issue in the backup (anyway there is a temporal workaround for this problem, but only Veeam Backup and Replication 9.5 Update 4 will fully support the new vSphere 6.7 Update 1).
