Goodbye old friend.... vSphere 5.0 and 5.1 R.I.P - End of Support today - 24 August 2016
Goodbye old friend.... vSphere 5.0 and 5.1 R.I.P - End of Support today - 24 August 2016
we've had some good times...
End of General Support for vSphere 5.0 and vSphere 5.1 (2145103)
So if you are still on 5.0 time to upgrade I'm afraid...

NO SUPPORT! from VMware Support.
NO more security patches, no more upgrades.
if you want to take out Extended Support, you can purchase from VMware at $300,000 per year.

Whoa USD $300,000 per year?
That's too much man...
I thought that there will only be the case of no patches and upgrade.
