VMware HCX now supports Cloud Director, enabling multiple migration options—including live and OS-assisted migrations. While setup requires extra steps like RabbitMQ, it offers a dedicated UI and lets customers manage migrations independently. Despite some networking limits, it simplifies Day 2 operations for service providers and boosts flexibility for tenants. #VMware #HCX #VCD
