In this episode of Virtually Speaking, hosts Pete Flecha and John Nicholson are joined by Harshad Colte and Feidhlim O’Leary to break down the latest vSphere enhancements in VMware Cloud Foundation 9.

They explore how vSphere is evolving to support both traditional VM workloads and modern container-based applications—all while improving operational efficiency, scalability, and security.

Highlights include:

  • 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

If you’re looking to understand how vSphere fits into the future of cloud-smart infrastructure, this episode is a must-listen.
