Upon launching Workstation 16 for Windows, the first thing users might notice is that we’ve added an all new Dark Mode feature to the Workstation Pro and Player UIs. (Pro products are required for remote-connections) Dark Mode UI Workstation has been updated to support connections to vSphere 7 through ESXi and vCenter for remote VM operation and configuration, as well as providing workload mobility and compatibility between the Desktops and Data Center virtual infrastructure. (vms must be configured for 16GB of RAM or more to unlock the 8GB vRAM option.) vSphere 7 Compatibility Users can now allocate up to 8GB of vRAM to your 3D accelerated guest to maximize gaming and 3D app performance. Workstation 16 will support running games and apps with Direct3D version 11, otherwise known as ‘DirectX 11’, or OpenGL 4.1. We’re looking forward to working closely with the open source community to help support more tools and workflows as we continue to grow in this space!Įven better news is that it will ship with Workstation Player as well as Workstation Pro, making it accessible to everyone.

In support of kind, vctl creates a ‘docker compatible’ socket for kind to connect to without modification, by using an implementation of containerd.

The VMware Workstation and Fusion team is excited to announce the release of our featuring the first drop of our DirectX 11 support!įor developers, we’ve added support for Containers and Kubernetes with a new CLI tool: vctl!Ĭurrently available in Fusion, vctl allows users to push, pull, build and run OCI container images, and now also includes the ability to deploy kind Kubernetes clusters.
