As mentioned previously in this guide, VMware has a 'BYOH’ feature. This can be incorporated with ESXI-Arm to enable VMware operators to run small footprint clusters remotely. However, this is a complicated on vSphere infrastructure. vSphere can also deploy non-conformant Pods directly on vSphere-managed ESXi hosts through proprietary VMware extensions that replace the container engine and the standard Kubernetes Arm processors by default. VMware recently added the possibility to use BYOH in combination with ESXi-Arm to deploy Kubernetes in Arm processor-based systems and manage them with TMC. It is a suboptimal
