#120 – Announcing VCF Native S3 Object Storage, featuring Rakesh!

Duncan Epping · Jun 8, 2026 · Leave a Comment

VCF Native S3 Object Storage is a major feature that was announced with VCF 9.1. Pete Koehler introduced it in episode 118 and I wanted to explore what it is all about in this episode with Rakesh. Rakesh goes over what was announced with 9.1, what the timelines look like, discusses the use cases for the platform, and reveals what you can expect in the (near) future.

You can listen to the episode on Spotify, Apple Podcasts,

All the topics and links discussed can be found here:

  • Blog – Native S3 in VCF 9.1
  • Blog – vSAN enhancements in VCF 9.1

Disclaimer: VCF Native S3 Object Storage has not been released yet, it has only been announced. As Rakesh has mentioned, the plan is to release it in a future patch release as a tech preview, followed by an “MVP” release after that. As always, there’s no commitment to any timeline or delivery of any feature at this stage.
