Yes, we're aware of Oracle's support policy for VMWare, but not too
concerned about it. As long as they still support Oracle, what more can
we expect of them? If I had a problem with any other operating system,
I wouldn't expect Oracle to fix it, so why would I expect Oracle to fix
a problem with VMWare? From this perspective, their support of Oracle
on VMWare isn't really much different than their support of Oracle on
any other OS - virtualized or not (with the exception of RedHat/OEL, if
you have purchased Linux support from Oracle). There is also a pretty
large community of folks running Oracle on VMWare, including the Oracle
and VMWare companies themselves, so I feel it's matured and supported
well enough for a production environment.

The most obvious reason many oracle customers do not use vmware and are
looking at oraclevm is the support issue.
