VMware acknowledges the wisdom of never buying version 1.0 of a product
But the company's post reveals other motives.
For instance:"This is particularly relevant now as we include cloud capabilities with the recent release of vSphere+, and increasingly align our internal processes to our VMware Cloud capabilities." vSphere+ is VMware's recently announced subscription service. VMware Cloud is the cut of vSphere that VMware deploys with its hyperscale partners, and updates on a roughly quarterly cadence. The IA/GA regime means seemingly means work being done on those products can more easily be added to vSphere as it goes from IA to GA.
The other motive is to create"the confidence you need for at-scale deployment, to get the benefits of the latest innovations in vSphere sooner." That's VMware encouraging users to upgrade so they get all of vSphere 8's new bits. Some of those are welcome and useful upgrades, while others are land grabs – especially the VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid that allows creation of Kubernetes clusters. VMware very much wants its customers to manage both VMs and containers with vSphere, rather than considering other container management tools.

How I nearly met my match on holiday, says Yorkshire poet Ian McMillanHere I am, leaning perhaps a little too close to the woodburning stove in the holiday cottage, trying to light the twigs I’ve gathered on my seaside strolls. I’m not a woodburning stove kind of chap, and so this is a bit of a new departure for me, or it will be if I can get the match to light. If I can just get the match to light. Maybe it’s an extreme version of the matches they used to call safety matches, and in this case it’s so safe it will never spark up.
