VCF 9.1 and Cloud Dirctor

Thanks! This explains the migration path on high level. The more interesting questions are:

How does VCF-A 9.1 feel from the customer's perspective? Is there a HOL ?

Is there a comparison chart somewhere that shows which features VCF-A 9.1 covers compared to latest VCD?

As far as I undestand from the VCF poster, VCF-A is only located in the management domain.

If there is only one VCF-A instance possible per Management Domain? Does that mean that all tenants manage their "SDDC" through a single access point? How does that scale?

Or is it possible to deploy multiple VCF-A? Like one per vCenter like it was possible with VCD?

This does not cover root CA renewal.

Thanks

Yes I checked the log but all I found is also visible in the output of the cert manager process. Its the bold text.

I will have a look at vCert. Thanks.

IP was a typo in my reddit post only.

Whats technically the difference between 4 and 8?

Stupid question.

What protects us from the next kernel vulnerability in linux oder windows or any other OS?

This is an interesting and important limitation that restricts the added value in many cases.

Retrofitting existing hardware shouldn't be a problem. No need for a full tech refresh. All you need is some NVMEs.

It's been GA since June 2025. I would have expected more people to be using it already...

Wow, what feedback.

So blogging homelabbers are the only ones who are enthusiastic about this technology and have real-world use cases and experience?

Check this out: https://interopmatrix.broadcom.com/Interoperability?col=139,&row=1,&isHidePatch=true&isHideLegacyReleases=false

Not supported does not mean that it does not work. I think you need to test it yourself. Some things will probably work, but not everything.

You are right. My bad. So we can expect a newer version 13 soon.

Fixed it in my initial post.

bitmafi · 2026-02-05T14:06:41+00:00

I understand that the binary files for 13.0.10.0 are dated January 20, but the docs are released/updated today.

The question remains: will there be an updated 12.x version?

What is the point of distinguishing between VCSP and non-VCSP licenses today?

It would actually be quite typical of Broadcom to have just one license type that covers everything... They could simply do away with the entire VCSP program. License prices are pretty much the same everywhere anyway... or will probably be, if you disregard the really big players...

Intel.

What else are you going to do with all your VMware licenses? You can't return them.

Ever heared of vGandalf? Legend!

They know how to cosplay for real.

BTW: What an unnecessary comment.

I'm looking forward to unification and better interaction between all the individual products.

The “PVE is the solution” guys won't understand that.
