VVF/VCF – automating couting cores

The changes in VMware licensing continue to stir the atmosphere, and they will continue to do so for some time. These changes necessitate that administrators revisit their VMware inventory and ensure they are aware of what is in their stable. It is crucial to strategically acquire licenses optimally. Although it appears that the changes are heading in a positive direction, particularly in terms of simplifying licenses, not necessarily minimizing the costs of maintaining VMware, this additional effort is required and necessary. This effort is essential to comfortably manage licenses for the foreseeable future. Assistance may come from the work of William Lam – https://williamlam.com/2024/01/automating-counting-cores-tibs-for-new-vmware-vsphere-foundation-vvf-and-vmware-cloud-foundation-vcf-skus.html , which is described in this article. I highly recommend it.
