So back in 2019 OCTO was hosting an internal CTO ambassadors conference where I got an interesting request to put together a fun demo around Pi 3. Now remember that during VMworld 2018 in Vegas ESXi on Pi didn't exist yet...
In our OCTO Arm booth in Vegas folks kinda dared to make it happen, and we did... in just a few months we had a demo at VMworld 2018 in BCN of ESXi booting on Pi 3, IIRC with USB support (net, storage and HID)

@esxi_arm Yup! Getting firmware working and polished is a massive massive undertaking. One that I and a very special set of folks from around the world have been driving over the course of a few years now. All as a side act.

Any massive launch today - developer.arm.com/architectures/….
This is truly massive. Extending the "power of boring" beyond servers to other footprints.

It's 2020 and Linux NFS client still can't locally remap UIDs to remote ones without messing with a server you may have no control over.
With CIFS? Easy.
