ESXi Arm Edition
Verfasst: 18.10.2020, 01:13
Seit dem October 06, 2020 gibt es unter https://flings.vmware.com/esxi-arm-edition gibt es einen Fling in der Version 1.0. Der interessanteste Teil daran ist die Lauffähigkeit von ESXi-7.x als Tech-Preview auf ARM-basierten Geräten wie dem Raspi4-B. Empfohlen werden dort mindestens die 4GB- und besser die 8GB-Version.
Hello ESXi-Arm Fling participants!
Over the past several years, you've seen us demonstrate our virtualization technology on the Arm platform across several use cases, everything from running mission critical workloads on a windmill, to running on the SmartNIC, to running on AWS Graviton in the cloud. We realized that the resilient platform created for the datacenter can be equally valuable in non-traditional environments. We've learned a lot from exploratory discussions with customers and Arm Silicon Partners.
Now we'd like to give our customers a chance to evaluate this technology in their own environments. This evaluation program is for the enterprise architects who are considering the viability of virtualizing Arm workloads, for the test/dev team looking for a way to spin up Arm environments, and for the tinkerers who simply want to explore running ESXi-Arm in a small form factor Edge environment. We're interested to understand what features you will find most valuable, and how you will want to deploy this technology.
