Cloned VMs that keep the same /etc/machine-id collapse into a single
Docker host in Pulse, with each clone's report silently overwriting the
other (#1584). The server now tracks per-identity hostname and machine
ID observations and flags a conflict when a value flaps back to one
already seen inside a 15-minute window, a signature a one-time rename
never produces. The conflict rides the DockerHost model through unified
resources, and the Docker page shows a warning naming the flapping
hostnames with the machine-id remedy. The warning self-clears once one
clone stops reporting for the window.
Collect native Kubernetes config, policy, and autoscaling objects.
Project the new resource types through API filters, unified resources, mock fixtures, and Kubernetes tabs.
Keep Secret inventory metadata-only and route k8s-secret policy as restricted local-only.
Project vCenter network inventory through canonical resources and add the vSphere Networks table backed by vCenter network topology. Align resource presentation coalescing so state and resource APIs share the same host contract.
Project vCenter cluster HA and DRS service state through the VMware resource facet so existing hosts and VMs expose cluster posture as read-only topology context.
Project vCenter VM hardware, CPU, memory, and boot configuration through the VMware resource facet and shared vSphere details so operators can inspect virtual hardware posture as read-only monitoring context.
Project vCenter VMware Tools runtime facts through the VMware resource facet and vSphere VM surface so operators can see Tools run state, version posture, upgrade policy, install attempts, and guest reboot requests as read-only monitoring context.
Project vCenter VM hardware disk facts through the VMware resource facet and vSphere VM surface so operators can see virtual disk backing, capacity, datastore, and bus placement as read-only monitoring context.
Project vCenter VM hardware Ethernet adapter facts through the VMware resource facet and vSphere VM surface so operators can see vNIC backing network, MAC address, connection state, and adapter flags as read-only monitoring context.
Project TrueNAS app.query data into the unified resource contract and render the TrueNAS overview apps table from that native facet.
Keep Docker metadata as the runtime compatibility fallback for shared container tooling.
Teach unified resources to emit platformScopes so runtime workloads can belong to both Docker and their owning platform. Update workload filters to use platform scopes and keep TrueNAS app containers scoped to TrueNAS.
