As you may have seen already, vRealize Operations (former vCenter Operations) has been updated to version 6.0 right before Christmas . With this new version, lots of great features have been added and there were lots of changes to the User Interface – mainly the convergence of vSphere and Custom UI. Besides architectural changes, there were also major updates around Views and Custom Reports. I collected some links around version 6.0 that I’d like to share here as well.
