Fedora CoreOS dropping support for VMware ESXi 6.5 and 6.7
by Benjamin Gilbert 18 Oct '22

Hi all, VMware ESXi 6.5 and 6.7 have now reached their end of life, so as previously announced [1], Fedora CoreOS is dropping support for those versions. The next Fedora CoreOS releases on the `next` and `testing` streams will update the VMware OVA image to hardware version 17 [2], and the following `stable` release will do the same. As a result, creating virtual machines from an up-to-date OVA will not be possible on ESXi 6.5 and 6.7 without a workaround [3]. Existing virtual machines will not be affected. If you have any questions or concerns, contact us in #fedora-coreos on Libera.Chat or open an issue in the Fedora CoreOS tracker [4]. --Benjamin Gilbert, for the CoreOS team [1]: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/coreos-status@lists.fedorapro… [2]: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1003746 [3]: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-coreos/provisioning-vmware/#_mo… [4]: https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/new/choose
