- Easier Tanzu Kubernetes setup and independent Supervisor upgrades for container-VM integration
- Up to 6X faster migration of GPU-backed VMs with zero-downtime vMotion

- Live ESXi host patching for faster security updates without rebooting or operational impact
- Automated deployment with a new JSON-based installer for VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) that includes pre-checks to verify system readiness
- Granular control of CPU compatibility across mixed hardware generations
