VMware security advisories are now non public (from Reddit)

The location of VMware Security Advisories (VMSAs) has changed on May 6, 2024. They are now available from the Broadcom Support Portal. The legacy VMSA URLs still work but are now redirected to the portal, for example: https://www.vmware.com/security/advisories/VMSA-2024-0002.html points to https://support.broadcom.com/web/ecx/support-content-notification/-/external/content/SecurityAdvisories/0/23681.

Half the industry, if not more, is already seeking alternatives to vcenter, esxi, director, and the rest of the gang. Watch the install base shrinking going forward.
- We are. Where I am, the money men are (rightly) scared and we're looking at our options. I'm currently assessing Kubernetes as an alternative. The benefits to containerization are too great to ignore, but if we go that route, the workload to migrate our services is definitely going to sting for the next few months. Thanks Broadcom....
  
  How about Proxmox? It allows containers and VMs. Containers via LXC, but you could set your own VM to run docker/kubernetes etc. Haven't had many chances to try Kuberbetes myself, so not sure the difference of advantages.
- I think it is more than half
This makes only sense, given that they have a dedicated investors.broadcom.com page but no security.broadcom.com you can see where their focus is.
Makes sense, now that ESXi isn't free anymore and you technically need an account with now-Broadcom anyways?
