@Oksana Does KVM have a chance? It's the only game in town. VMware is such a backwater of out of date, out of touch, "why would anyone use this" tech. If you use KVM, then you use VMware, it's like going from living in a beach front mansion to a caveman's cave where they are still pooping in a dark corner in the back.
VMware has been dead tech for years. It's so antiquated like they think it is the 2005 era.

XCP-ng is picking up a ton of customers as well, since there is a support model behind it.

Yeah, two great (and free) solutions on the market, and VMware that is costly and requires so much overhead to manage and maintain. It's such a disaster.

Broadcom just cancelled the free version of ESXi as well, so any small customer shops are just going to migrate, they have too.

Yeah, it REALLY makes Vmware so much less relevant, in a space where it struggled so hard to show value before!

@Oksana You couldn't pay me enough to use VMware. KVM is the industry standard and has been for years. And VMware with the recent announcement to kill their free offerings is now just a sinking ship.

And it isn't like when it was free, it was worth it. It was laughable what a bad product it was for free. Paying for it is totally insane.

The people who are using VMware have to either be getting kickbacks or completely ignorant or incompetent tbh.
