I want to ask a general question. I'm using vcenter 6.5. How do I know when a new update or upgrade, patch is released about the product? How do I know when a new feature comes? will i check the vmware website every day ? How do you do when you manage a large infrastructure ?
how should i follow ?
thanks.

If you log onto your MyVMware profile you can set your notifications: VMware Knowledge Base
For Security Advisories you can check the VMSA site: Advisories | UK - These can also be emailed to you
For details on whats fixed and new features, check the release notes e.g. VMware ESXi 6.7, Patch Release ESXi670-201912001
List of ESXi Build Numbers: VMware Knowledge Base
List of vCenter Build Numbers: VMware Knowledge Base
check out here VMware Knowledge Base
If youre speaking about your vCenter just login into VAMI https://yourvcenter:5480. If the status is orange you have a problem or a new update is available. Go to ->updates and check if there is something new. You can configure a scheduling.
For the hosts you can schedule a search for new patches and you will get an email if there is something new.

Joerg
