4.2.2 vCloud Director 8.10

vCloud Director 8.10 also supports legacy edges deployed before upgrade to vCloud Director 8.10. VMware recommends redeploying the old edges in vCloud Director or upgrading them in VMware NSX to leverage the more efficient message bus communication mode with NSX Manager as opposed to the legacy VIX API mode. If the NSX Edge nodes are upgraded directly in VMware NSX, verify that vCloud Director is still running because it needs to be notified about the NSX Edge version change.
