How to scare away your customers, exhibit 4821: #Broadcom#VMware:
"VMware distributor Arrow says minimum software subs set to jump from 16 to 72 cores. Claims Broadcom will levy 20 percent #penalty for customers who don’t pay before renewal deadlines"
#ProxLB - an opensource & advanced VM loadbalancer for #Proxmox clusters. Including affinity & anti-affinity rules, maintenance mode (evacuating nodes) and more. I just published my slides about it.

Microsoft: In two years, we're changing this update URL. Automatic updates will handle this gracefully, unless you did something weird. We'll remind you of this every 90 days.
Broadcom: We're going to break updates on all our products in 30 days unless you do these manual steps. You should probably get on that.
First up, we've got CVE-2025-22230 hitting VMware Tools for Windows. This nasty bug basically lets standard users inside a VM escalate their privileges to admin level. Yikes! With a CVSS score of 7.8, you'll want to jump on this fix ASAP. It impacts versions 11.x.x and 12.x.x, so upgrading to 12.5.1 needs to be right at the top of your list!
But wait, there's more. CrushFTP is also sounding the alarm about unauthenticated access vulnerabilities lurking on HTTP(S) ports in versions 10 and 11. It's definitely time to double-check those DMZ configurations. Rapid7 has confirmed that exploits are out there, allowing unauthorized access. Pretty intense, right?
Stuff like this is a stark reminder: while automated scans have their place, they just don't cut it alone. Real-deal penetration testing is absolutely essential. Those manual checks are what uncover the sneaky issues that automated tools often breeze right past.
What's your take on this recent wave? How are you keeping your own environments locked down tight? Let's talk
My customers often told me, that when migrating from #VMware based setups, they would miss something like #DRS. As a result I published #ProxLB as a load balancer. Now, I do the same for #DPM and also some other things. What do you miss or what stops you or your business from switching to Proxmox or XCPng?
