Just came across this one today – https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article/373307
Broadcom is marking a large number of Aria Operations Management Packs as End of General Support as of Oct 1, 2024. There are a lot of good ones there that I know are in use today. It seems like most of them are going self-service and will require building of your own management pack with the Management Pack Builder. According to a blog I found on the vmware blogs site this seems straightforward. And there is a community page so you can ask your peers for help.
I know I’ll be talking about this and seeing what functionality is needed with the teams I interact with.

This is a crushing blow to those that use AOps today – basically looks like Broadcom have fired all of the BlueMedora staff and left a huge hole with zero investigation on who this would effect.
This speaks volumes for the current level of ‘Care’ coming out of Broadcom at the moment.

I agree that there have been many good people that have been laid off at Broadcom. But I see this as a continuation of the narrowing of the focus of what VMware is. I’m seeing anything that isn’t core to the VCF product, or serves the VAST majority (80%+) of the customers is, or will be, end of support.
I expect a 3rd party ecosystem to develop. VARs and integrators will differentiate themselves by offering custom management packs to fill this gap. It’s not going to be easy in the short term but we will all get through this eventually.
The 3rd party ecosystem was already there for Horizon even before the merger with products like ControlUP and Goliath.
