How many people follow the hardening guide to a T? I've honestly never looked at this guide before. Most of it looks pretty good, but I am wondering if some is a bit excessive in small environments. Mike Foley at VMUG today was saying that the guides can be difficult to follow and the one for 6.0 is much improved.
Between that and the new Platform Services Controller, I am tempted to start planning out an upgrade to vCenter 6.0 to increase security by implementing the 6.0 hardening guide and also regain the link-mode that I miss so much. I also like the SMP-FT to protect VCSA. In the past with Windows based vCenters I used Heartbeat but was not overly impressed.
Do most people replace the self-signed cert and SSH keys in their environment?
