You manage the life cycle of the software and firmware that runs on a DPU device by using vSphere Lifecycle Manager images workflows. DPUs are pre-configured devices that you can use for network acceleration. A DPU device features multiple embedded CPU cores, memory, and a trimmed version of an ESXi hypervisor that runs on the server. VSphere 8.0 introduces vSphere Distributed Services Engine that provides the ability to offload some of the infrastructure functions from a server CPU to a data processing unit (DPU).
