VMware ESXi

Know where each release stands. Plan your next move with dates you can trace back to the source.

Read the right milestone. “End of support” below refers to the published standard security-support deadline. Paid extensions, edition-specific policies, and hardware coverage can differ. An active-support deadline alone does not mean security updates stop.
