AWS has expanded Amazon Elastic VMware Service (EVS) to 22 regions and doubled the supported environment size to 32 hosts, giving organizations a broader path for moving VMware workloads out of aging data centers. The service now supports VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.0 and 9.1 on Amazon EC2 bare-metal infrastructure, including a lift-and-shift VCF-to-VCF migration model that preserves existing VMware operations.

Lenovo and Broadcom have validated VMware memory tiering on ThinkAgile VX V4 systems, reporting up to 45 percent lower infrastructure acquisition costs, twice the VM density, and more than 90 percent of normal performance. The results add concrete hardware data to VMware’s push to use NVMe memory tiering in Cloud Foundation 9.1 as DRAM prices rise.

Broadcom is shifting VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) from a platform deployment project to an outcomes-driven private-cloud program, expanding its partnership with Kyndryl and training several thousand consultants, architects, and delivery specialists. The effort targets faster automation, stronger security, and private and hybrid clouds prepared for AI workloads.

Broadcom software chief Ram Velaga expects Arm servers to take at least three to five years to gain meaningful enterprise market share, putting VMware’s server hypervisor port on the back burner. For administrators, the delay means Arm systems are unlikely to become a practical alternative to x86 without creating separate infrastructure silos.

Broadcom has unveiled VMware Private AI Cloud, combining VMware Cloud Foundation 9 with new controls for hardware spending, infrastructure operations, and AI token usage. The service builds on VMware AI Factory’s private-AI platform, extending its model management with an AI Gateway and access to more than 150 validated open-source and commercial models.

VMware is expanding memory tiering in Cloud Foundation as DRAM and server prices remain high, aiming to help customers run more workloads on existing hardware. The technology shifts inactive memory pages from expensive DRAM to fast NVMe storage, and VMware plans to extend support to Microsoft Radius and very large virtual machines in a future VCF 9.2 release.

Broadcom has now moved beyond the private AI and agent-security agenda previewed for VMware Explore 2026, announcing the VMware AI Factory, AgentMinder, and new TrueSource open-source security services. The package positions VMware Cloud Foundation as a turnkey platform for running production AI on enterprise infrastructure rather than sending sensitive workloads to public clouds.

Kyndryl and Broadcom are making a large skills investment the centerpiece of their expanded partnership for AI-ready private clouds. The plan will train several thousand Kyndryl consultants, architects, and delivery specialists on VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), giving enterprises more capacity to modernize infrastructure, secure sensitive workloads, and run AI and agentic workflows outside hyperscale clouds.

VMware vSphere 8 customers have until October 11, 2027, to escape a forced platform and licensing change. After that date, bug fixes, security patches, and perpetual licensing end, leaving organizations to choose between VMware Cloud Foundation 9, vSphere Foundation 9, or a migration to another virtualization platform.

VMware Tanzu Spring software is facing a broad wave of security fixes, including a critical LDAP flaw that can grant administrator access and let attackers alter user identities. Additional weaknesses affect Spring Security, Spring AI, and Spring GraphQL, while CERT-Bund has separately reported multiple Spring Framework denial-of-service flaws rated CVSS 6.5; no exploitation has been confirmed so far.

Citrix is urging customers to patch two new NetScaler vulnerabilities after a recent wave of in-the-wild attacks against other NetScaler flaws highlighted the risk of delaying updates. CVE-2026-19490 can enable unauthenticated authentication bypass on certain Gateway and AAA virtual server configurations, while CVE-2026-19489 can cause denial-of-service conditions.

Microsoft will stop selling license-included Azure VMware Solution (AVS) environments on October 31, 2026, and existing customers must move to a new licensing model by August 30, 2027. AVS will continue, but customers will need to obtain VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) licenses from Broadcom and bring them to Azure.

Docker is expanding beyond container packaging with Docker Sandboxes, which run autonomous AI coding agents inside isolated microVMs, and Docker AI Governance, which lets organizations control their access to filesystems and networks. The shift gives administrators a way to adopt AI-assisted development without allowing unpredictable agents to reach developer laptops or internal systems directly.

CISA has added four high-severity vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, giving federal civilian agencies until August 21 to patch them. The move formalizes the threat from macOS Screen Sharing attacks and compromised VMware vCenter systems while adding an actively exploited Microsoft IKE flaw to the warning.
