Future support for ARM ESXi connected to new / up to date versions of vCenter?

Hello,

I have a Raspberry Pi cluster running 4 Raspberry Pi 4B's for about 3/4 of a year now. I have vCenter setup to manage all of the VM's, including vMotion. I know that there is currently a limitation to the highest version of vCenter that you can use with support for DRS (I know it all too well since I setup the first vCenter using a version that was too new and it would not automatically vMotion ... I could do it manually).

I am wondering if anyone knows if VMware has any plans to make a future version of vCenter have the capability to run a mix of x86 and ARM hosts and support vMotion on both.

If not, please consider this a feature request.

Thanks,

Robert

I assume you don't assume you can vmotion between architectures 😉

But that should be where things should be heading. One vsphere to rule them all.
