=== {vmw-full} 7 and VMware Cloud Foundation 4 end of general support

Broadcom has ended general support for {vmw-full} 7 and VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 4. If your existing {product-title} cluster is running on either of these platforms, you must plan to migrate or upgrade your VMware infrastructure to a supported version. {product-title} supports installation on {vmw-short} 8 Update 1 or later, or VCF 5 or later.

Hi @sslocket Consider using the 7.x and 4.x format since VMware uses the same in their announcement.
@mzasepaRedHat - I think we should we include a link to the announcement by VMware. WDYT? Also, do we have an answer for this because that would mean a change in the current recommendation to upgrade VCF to 5.x or later.

I don't think we need to add anything specific to storage. 8 update 1 is the minimum we support.
LGTM
