The amazing VMware vSphere 6.0 has just been announced and will be released in March 2015! Michael Webster wrote a great article about the significance of vSphere 6.0 that is worth reading. This a “brain-dump” of the impressive new features and improvements:

VCDX Design with vSphere 6.0
For all you VCDX Candidates out there, with vSphere 6.0 about to be generally available (complete speculation on my side – 2 Feb 2015), submitting vSphere 6.0 designs for your VCDX defence is not a good idea until Update 1 is released (probably August 2015).
Otherwise, you will have to explain how you will mitigate the risks that come with GA code and how they will impact your Customer’s Mission-Critical and Business-Critical services. Which is not a pleasant conversation to have.
vSphere 6.0 RC – Still Under NDA?
vSphere 6.0 RC was announced a few hours ago. As a beta tester of vSphere 6.0 am I still under NDA? Rhetorical question, answer: Yes.
UPDATE: A few minutes after I posted this, VMware removed the post, but you can see it here. There is also an article at The Register. By the way, “RC” stands for “Release Candidate”.
During VMworld there were a lot of public references to the features of vSphere 6.0 in the keynote & breakout sessions. Fast forward to the “RC” release today and VMware are providing additional feature information as part of the announcement.
