Title: VMware Revives Its Free ESXi Hypervisor

Link: https://it.slashdot.org/story/25/04/14/185121...

VMware has resumed offering a free hypervisor. News of the offering emerged
in a throwaway line in the Release Notes for version 8.0 Update 3e of the
Broadcom business unit's ESXi hypervisor. From a report: Just below the
"What's New" section of that document is the statement: "Broadcom makes
available the VMware vSphere Hypervisor version 8, an entry-level hypervisor.
You can download it free of charge from the Broadcom Support portal." VMware
offered a free version of ESXi for years, and it was beloved by home lab
operators and vAdmins who needed something to tinker with. But in February
2024, VMware discontinued it on grounds that it was dropping perpetual
licenses and moving to subscriptions.
