VMware Cloud Foundation End of Life: 4.x Is Dead, 5.x Ends in 2027, and VCF 9.0 Expires Before 5.2

Every VMware Cloud Foundation 4.x release is already end of life — 4.5, the last of the line, ended May 31, 2025. VCF 5.0 and 5.1 both die June 1, 2027; 5.2 follows October 11, 2027. The version-number trap: VCF 9.0 expires September 17, 2027, before 5.2 — the longest published runway is 9.1, to August 12, 2028. All 16 versions' dates, the documented record of what Broadcom did with Tanzu (legacy SKUs retired May 2024, TKG continuing as vSphere Kubernetes Service inside VCF 9), the CISA KEV exposure of the ESXi 7.0 that VCF 4.x bundles, and the honest exit paths.

What Extended Support Actually Costs: The Cross-Vendor Pricing Reference for Post-EOL Software

The first cross-vendor pricing reference for post-EOL extended support. Microsoft ESU: $61/device doubling yearly ($30 one-time for consumers). AWS: EKS $0.60/cluster-hour (6x), RDS $0.100/vCPU-hour doubling in year three. Ubuntu Pro: $25 desktop / $500 server per year. Oracle's Java 17 fee waiver, and the honest quote-based rows — Red Hat ELS, Oracle Database, SUSE LTSS, CentOS ELS — where no public price exists.
