Notes from the Field

Many of you use VMware Fusion to run virtual machines on a Mac. The VMware Fusion blog has an update on the work being done to bring Fusion to new Macs running Apple Silicon.  The TL;DR is:

• A Tech Preview is expected before the end of the year
• At this time, there is no planned support for X86 VMs on Apple Silicon-based Macs running Fusion (Windows or other Operating Systems)
• The work is focused on ARM-based operating systems with Linux being the priority.  Windows is the next priority
• There are some challenges with Windows licensing on ARM
• In the short term, MacOS VMs are not in scope.  There are technical challenges that VMware is working with Apple to resolve.

vSphere 7 Update 2

• vSphere 7 Update 2a has been released. This resolves the “Failed to Load Crypto64.efi” error observed when Update 2 was first released
• vSAN 7 Update 2 supports RDMA
• This new release of vSphere provides some enhancements to vMotion which help migrate Jumbo VMs faster

VMworld 2021 will be virtual again this year.  It will be held October 5-7 2021.  Registration for the event will open in June.  The call for proposals is open until May 14th.
