Description

As introduced by vSphere 8.0, the "latency sensitivity" virtual machine setting now has a new possible value named "High with Hyperthreading".
See VMWare documentation supporting this statement : https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/8.0/vsphere-vm-administration/GUID-F5DAC793-7B13-418F-949E-0CD80CEC5D1E.html

Current provider implementation (2.7.0 at the time of writing) of the resource vsphere_virtual_machine does not support this new value as specified here : https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/vsphere/latest/docs/resources/virtual_machine#latency_sensitivity

Use Case(s)

This setting is particularly interesting for network appliances virtual machines and the new functionality of "high with hyperthreading" offers a way to reduce the computing power footprint of a latency sensitivity "high" setting on the host without sacrificing much of its advantages.
