VirtualRealization: vCD-SP 8

I finally got around to installing vCD-SP 8 and here are my finding on what's new and upcoming.

Support for vCenter 6.0

ESXi and vCSA 6.0 U1 is a big advantage to 5.5 and allow SP's to take advantage of new features and optimization provided with 6.

Support for NSX 6.2 and 6.2.1!

This allows connection to a NSX manager instead of a vShield Manager appliance in backward compatibility mode.
When using NSX manager the VSE is deployed with version 5.5.4-2673026

vDC template

Create Organization specific virtual datacenter templates with pre-set resources delegation rule-set. Have not tested this but provide some feedback later.

vApp enhancements

Reconfigure of VMs within a vApp.
Reconfigure of networking connectivity and capabilities during creation.
I have not seen anything from a UI perspective on this but seems to be more under the cover work through API.

oAuth for identify source

tokens now supported.

Tenant throttling

This prevents noisy tenants from consuming all the resources of a single instance.
Helps ensure fairness of execution and scheduling of among tenants

As mentioned in previous blog VMware did post about new UI changes coming to vCD-SP in 2016 and the following advanced networking selections seems to indicate this. I did again not find anything in documentation on these menu selections but hopefully seem some of vCloud Air features soon:
