Platform Features - Improved Auditability of ESXi Admin Actions
• Prior to 6.0, actions taken at the vCenter level by a named user would show up in ESXi logs with the “vpxuser” username.
– [user=vpxuser]
– This made for difficult forensic tracking of user actions.
• In 6.0, all actions taken at vCenter against an ESXi server now show up in the ESXi logs with the vCenter username
– [user=vpxuser:CORP\Administrator]

Certificate Authority
Two Deployment Models:
• Embedded
vCenter Server and Platform Services Controller in one virtual machine
- Recommended for small deployments where there is less then two SSO integrated solutions
• External
vCenter Server and Platform Services Controller in their own virtual machines
- Recommended for most deployments where there are two or more SSO integrated solutions

New vCenter Server solutions for complete certificate lifecycle management:
vCenter Server 6.0 - Certificate Lifecycle Management for vCenter and ESXi
15
While you can decide not to use VMCA in your certificate chain, you must use VECS to store all certificates, and keys for vCenter Server and services.
All ESXi certificates are stored locally on the host.

Overview
• No File System
• ESX manages array through VASA
(vSphere APIs for storage
awareness) APIs
• Arrays are logically partitioned into
containers, called Storage
Containers
• VM disks, called Virtual Volumes,
stored natively on the Storage
Containers.
• IO from ESX to array is addressed
through an access point called
Protocol Endpoint (PE)
• Data services are offloaded to the
array
• Managed through storage policy-
based management framework

Trevor Pott, The Register, om vSphere 6.0, 5:e Februari, 2015
“VMware have THE
hypervisor. What everyone
else has is nice, but if were
being honest, nobody else
even comes close.”
“VMware changes everything, again.”
“vSphere 6 is BADASS.”
“There is now no excuse not to
be 100 per cent virtualized.
Even for applications upon
which lives depend.”
