Does Equinix Metal support ESXi?
I'm currently exploring the possibility of deploying VMware ESXi on Equinix Metal as part of my infrastructure expansion.
Does anyone here have experience with running ESXi on Equinix Metal? If so,...
Good news – Equinix Metal does indeed support ESXi, and even better, we've recently rolled out support for ESXi 8.0! 🚀
You can check out the full documentation here which will give you all the details. Just a heads-up though, while we provide the platform to run ESXi, we don't offer licenses for it. So you'll need to bring your own valid VMware license(s) to the party.
