You will own nothing, and you will like it.
Proxmox is a decent option, or just use kvm provisioning directly with ansible.
So many companies can’t do this.
Proxmox is not a complete replacement for VMware. Proxmox still does not have a distributed resource scheduler or distributed power management for it’s cluster which means the only time a VM will move between nodes is if a node goes down.
There’s no official support for VDI within proxmox and all the third party tools are janky at best, definitely not ready for enterprise level deployments.
Nvidia does not officially support vGPUs on proxmox. You can get it working but it’s definitely not something you’d want to run on production.
Ah another company ruining the company they just acquired
I think a lot of enterprises are going to look at RHEV and Proxmox now. Broadcom will squeeze so little out of VMware thinking they can convert per seat licenses, it’s baffling to me why they decided to do this. Do all these companies want to spend $2 to make $1 all the sudden?
Watch: in a year they’ll offload it to private equity.
They paid $61B for it, they’re going to do everything in the book to make it back.
They won’t
They could kill VMware while trying though. Seeing a worthy competitor rise through the ashes would be nice.
