VMware vSphere 8 was released a month ago. Prior to upgrading your Production or Test environment, make sure that the software you are using on top of vCenter/ESXi is supported. To check if a product version is supported, refer to VMware Interoperability Matrix.
When checking the Interop Matrix, make sure that there is both, a minimum and a maximum version that is supported. For example, ESXi 6.5 support has been dropped in vSphere 8 which means that all ESXi Hosts need to be upgraded to at least ESXi 6.7 prior to updating vCenter Server. The upgrade path for all individual products can be verified with the Upgrade Path tool.
I'm going to monitor the progress regularly to keep the list updated. For further information check
[Note: I will update this article when support for products has been added so make sure to create a bookmark.]

"Uprage" path? I have enough anger issues already. Not looking to uprage. :-)
I think my spell checker failed me :)
This Fling by VMware is great for the purpose of researching interoperability. https://flings.vmware.com/solution-designer
