Hi Serge, >From my perspective Juju will continue getting more support for vSphere provider as VMware is used by some customers that do not want to go with a full-blown bare-metal deployment and just have spare VMs.
I personally had to do a deployment of K8s on ESX (don't remember which version they had) but I had to use the manual provider because a custom provisioning method and IPAM was used on-site without DHCP so there was no way to use the proper vSphere provider. >From the commercial perspective VMware is listed in a (fresh) datasheet below and we do have that demand. https://assets.ubuntu.com/v1/b35eca50-Enterprise-Kubernetes-datasheet.pdf?_ga=2.138877683.1310562253.1507133746-467575700.1507133746 Best Regards, Dmitrii Shcherbakov Field Software Engineer IRC (freenode): Dmitrii-Sh On Wed, Oct 4, 2017 at 12:08 PM, Serge E.
