VMware vSphere 8 introduces new features and improvements, marking a significant leap forward in the evolution of the platform. One of the headline features is the enhanced lifecycle management capabilities, which simplify the process of keeping both the hypervisor and the virtual machines up to date. This is achieved through a combination of native tools and integration with VMware’s cloud-based management services, streamlining maintenance tasks and reducing the potential for security vulnerabilities.
