Last month VMWare released what they have called ESXi Arm-fling. This new release allows you to install the same ESXi you know and love on an ARM processor. VMWare has certified a few systems for datacenter use. They also have certified it for the Raspberry Pi 4, but only for what they call “Far Edge”.
Today we are going to perform the installation on a Raspberry Pi 8GB and do some testing. While we generally feel ProjectTinyMiniMicro may be a better option for some, there are many enthusiasts who sing the praises of the Raspberry Pi. The Pi has exceptional power efficiency, scalability, and a small footprint.
