Cool new features in vCloud Director 8.10

Last friday VMware has released vCloud Director 8.10, bringing exciting new features.

New Feature Highlights:

• Expanded UI Access to Features Many operations that were previously accessible only from the vCloud API are now accessible in the vCloud Director Web Console.
• Object Extensibility A new Object Extensibility feature has been introduced. vCloud Director object extensions are external applications that can participate in, influence, or override the logic that vCloud Director applies to complex operations like vApp instantiation and placement.
• Expanded Hardware Version and Guest OS support The system now supports Hardware Version 11 and Windows 10. This allows full support of those running ESXi 6.0 and above.
• Guest OS Support  Still no Windows Server 2016 support, but hopefully that will come not long after it’s release.

vCNS and NSX:

With the release of version 8.10, support for vCNS has officially ended. Only NSX is supported now. NSX versions supported are: 6.2.2, 6.1.5 and 6.1.6.
