VMware vSphere 6.7 Update 2 Announced

This vSphere update was officially announced earlier today:

• Announcing vSphere 6.7 Update 2, vSphere Platinum updates, and vSphere ROBO Enterprise

  I am excited to share that today we are announcing the VMware vSphere 6.7 Update 2 release, with key enhancements that will deliver an efficient and more secure hybrid cloud platform to our customers. We are also announcing the new vSphere Remote Office Branch Office Enterprise edition, as well as updates going specifically into vSphere Platinum edition.

While not as monumental an upgrade as the arrival of 100% feature parity in HTML5 in October 2018's 6.7 Update1, Update 2 seems to have some great new additions as well. I strongly ncourage you to read the announcement article above in its entirety, then check out Vladan's excellent overview here too. Here's an excerpt:

I encountered some very minor issues going to 6.7 Update 1, explained in my vSphere 6.7 Update 1 Released article, and I'm expecting this upgrade to be even smoother.
