NVMe memory tiering for higher VM density
-
Dramatically reduced vMotion stun times for GPU-enabled VMs
-
A new vCenter registration model through VCF Operations (replacing Enhanced Linked Mode)
-
Flexible Kubernetes lifecycle management decoupled from vCenter patching
-
Live patching for faster, disruption-free security updates
-
VLCM support for mixed hardware clusters
-
Native VPC integration, TLS 1.3 by default, and smarter certificate handling
