Running Ubuntu ARM on Raspberry Pi ESXi

It wouldn't matter much that you can run ESXi on a Raspberry Pi if you couldn't also fire up some virtual machines on it as well. Let's take a look at firing up Ubuntu 20.04 LTS ARM edition on a virtual machine. Then we'll see if we can VMotion that VM from one RPi to another without shared storage. Finally, we'll check out deploying from a template, just like you would on regular ESXi. It's wicked awesome!
