VMware vSphere 8.0 Update 2b Released

VMware by Broadcom has released vSphere 8.0 Update 2b, ESXi 8.0.2b, vCenter 8.0.2b, vSphere Replication 8.8.0.3 .

This fixes the CBT bug and many other problems.

I think this also introduces support for the new license model. There is nothing in the release notes about this.
