Hi vmware and everyone else
I just noticed that since esxi 6 vmware cut (general) support to 3 years instead of 5 years - so about 40%! In IT you don’t want to spent time on upgrading systems with new version you don’t really need, at least me. Sometimes you are ok with the current feature set and just want to make sure you are getting security and bug fixes and spent LIMITED TIME with much more important stuff!
That’s why I would love to see a long term support version for vsphere with a minimum of 5 year general support, kind of Ubuntu LTS release cycle, where they are releasing a new LTS version every 2 years with 5y support and in between still new major versions with lower support time.
What about the others here? Same opinion?
greetings
Chris
