vSphere 5 hardening guide?

[admin]

Has anyone heard any rumours of a hardening guide for vSphere 5.0?

Or even a draft?

Thanks,

Drew

One does not exists for vSphere 5 ... yet.

lamw,

Do you have any contacts within VMware that could give an estimated availability date of the 5.0 guide, or even a draft?  It is going to cause problems for my organizations' 5.0 migration, so it would be great to have.

Thanks!

Drew

Use the VMware vSphere™ 4.1Security Hardening Guide , it is still very relevant.

I can't give you a date that it will be available, but I can say it is being worked on and should be available soon.  There is a small discussion on one of the internal mailing lists about this.

If I was you I would follow Troy's advice.  Design based on the 4.1 guide and make any small changes when the 5.0 guide is released.
