These environments are ideal for multi-team hands on exercises exploring the capabilities of VCF delivering a Customer Managed VMware Cloud. Delivering VCF labs in a nested form
With vSphere 8.0 update 1, VMware has completed their journey to a completely native end-to-end NVMe storage stack. Prior to 8.0U1, there was a SCSI translation layer which added some complexity to the stack and slightly decreased some of the efficiencies inherent in the NVMe protocol.
ONTAP 9.12.1 added support for secure authentication over NVMe/TCP as well as increasing NVMe limits (viewable on the NetApp Hardware Universe [HWU]).
