While I was away on vacation last week it seems VMware had another exciting round of releasing starting with the Release of vRA 7.2. Probably the most anticipated feature is the new Azure Endpoint. Although this is a very exciting feature there are some other very exciting enhancements as well. Enhancements to the API, container support, installation API, and one of my personal favorites Scale out/scale in.
