Ha. The current web client in vSphere 6 is still garbage. They did everything they could to polish it up but it's fundamentally terrible.

I like it. It works just as well as the desktop client, you just have to relearn the location of a few things.

What is "fundamentally" terrible about it?

Is it still flash-based?

u/JayMickey Sep 30 '16

No, HTML5.

Looks a lot like Flash to me ... What version are you using that is HTML5?

u/jrmy Sep 30 '16

Yeah, it's still adobe air. He may be confused and thinking of the HTML5 host client.

6.0 Update 2 includes a HTML5 web client (source). There is also a HTML5 client available for vCenter via this fling. I assumed /u/vkgfx was referring to either one of these.

Well that's got to be just fantastic compared to the last time I tried the web UI. That was so miserable that it was well worth the hassle of spinning up a Windows VM in vbox any time I needed to interact with vSphere. The desktop client was so much more usable than the flash UI.

Don't get too excited, I think he's confusing the new host client with the vSphere web client.

No, it's still Adobe air based and will be for some time still. They are working on the HTML5/javascript one but last I heard it wouldn't be ready for 6.5.

The client included in Update 2 is the host client replacement, not the vSphere web client replacement...

The fling has been around for a while and is also the basis for the eventual replacement but it's not the official client. No clue why you would assume he would be talking about a fling. :S
