As part of Broadcom’s simplification of the VMware product portfolio, this included the End of Availability of Perpetual Licensing and SaaS Services. For more details on what products impacted please review the following VCF Blog. One of the products impacted by this decision was our Aria suite (formerly vRealize Suite), which is VMware’s Cloud Management suite. While some customers continue to run Aria on-premises, some customers decided to run Aria on VMware’s Cloud Console to help reduce the time to lifecycle and speed zero-day critical patches.
One product going far back to vRealize Suite was the lifecycle manager component to manage all of the Aria components, integrations, and add-ons.
If you made it this far, thank you for reading, and hope you got some context as to why I continue to focus on Aria Suite Lifecycle Manager to help customers navigate their journey. The following video walks through performing a simple upgrade to the LIfecycle Manager appliance itself.
