This is not completely the same thing that gave us ".zip", ".app" and other top level domains.
Google Domains, which is being sold, is the registrar.
What's not being sold (for now) is Google Registry (also known as Charleston Road Registry - see https://icannwiki.org/Google#New_gTLDs), ie. the operator of several top level domains. But Google being Google, the question is how long they'll continue to do this before they're bored with it.
Google Cloud VMware Engine has existed for years. It was first announced in July 2019: https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/partners/vmware-cloud-foundation-comes-to-google-cloud
What's new here is a GitHub repository to use Terraform to deploy GCVE.
This is a service similar to what other hyperscalers offer: VMware Cloud on AWS, Azure VMware Solutions, Oracle Cloud VMware Solution, Alibaba Cloud VMware Service and IBM Cloud for VMware Solutions.
(Disclaimer: I work for VMware - not on this though)

"If you have vSphere 5.0, then this is the correct path for you. The biggest upgrade 5.1 offered over 5.0 was banishment of the accursed vTax. If you already bought in to 5.0, you've already paid it, if it were to affect you. "
Do note that you don't need to upgrade to use the new licensing model. As of august 2012, vRAM was discontinued, even for users still on 5.0.
