Microsoft support for Windows Server 2008 R2 on vSphere 5.5

Hi, everybody.

I'm checking if Microsoft will provide support for Windows Server 2008 R2 running on a VM on vSphere 5.5 Update 2. So far what I've found athttp://windowsservercatalog.com is:

Filtering vendor VMware and Windows Server 2008 R2, it shows vSphere up to version 5.0 update 1

Filtering vendor VMware it shows vSphere 5.5 update 2, but details only Windows Server 2012, not Windows Server 2008 R2.

Does that mean Microsoft doesn't support Windows 2008 R2 on vSphere 5.5 update 2?

I'm aware Windows Server 2008 R2 lifecycle is close to EOL, but customer requires this specific version for application compatibility.

Thanks
