What happened
VMware's November 4 blog post, which announced vSphere Express, also states that vSphere Standard version 8 and vSphere Enterprise Plus version 8 remain available for sale in the EEA until October 31, 2027. Extended Support is included in active subscriptions until the earlier of the subscription end date or October 31, 2028, which is beyond the October 11, 2027 end of general support for vSphere 8 and Cloud Foundation 5.x. Details of the extended support level and longer-term commitments have not been published, so EEA customers should seek written clarity from VMware on these terms.
