      Sorting my desk out and the cabling around it.
      Then moving some VM's onto a RDX tape for backup, before destroying two hosts and resetting them up. Not sure if i'm going to use Hyper-V/ESXi Free/XenServer yet on them 🙂

      Why ESXi Free, are you attempting to learn the interface?

      No I just like ESXi 🙂

      So you enjoy technical debt and restrictions. . .

      Technical debt? I can understand the restrictions and the cost factor, but is their tech debt?

      Yes it's technical debt if you become locked into a platform unable to change for one reason or another. Or an unwillingness to change.

      What is locking you into a platform and stopping you from changing?

        An unwillingness to change due to a comfort level with a certain product is technical debt.

          Also it falls into the sunk-cost fallacy realm as well.

            Choosing a current platform is completely the opposite of technical debt.

            Just because the platform costs moeny or lacks features compared to other platforms does not do that.

                Using a free product doesn't change that.

                  No, that is not how that works.

                    I thought technical debt was choosing the easier option over the best option

                        Sure it is, you're choosing what you know, even if that product doesn't give you the best benefits. It may or it may not.

                        While there is value in using what you know, it shouldn't be the sole deciding factor in a decision.

                          I will admit ESXi is there as that's what the manager knows and is comfy with. Also should of said this is for a "lab" host so will only have temp/test VM's on.

                          The other host will have 1 windows server doing Radius and other Linux production VM's like Zabbix/Unifi/ScreenConnect. This one i'll choose more wisely lol 🙂 One side says stick with XenServer and XenOrch for management and backups, other side of me says "go on....give HyperV a try"

                                Reddit is down, so there might be larger issues.

                                        Or even a major one. It should just be a normal part of the financial calculation.

                                            Yeah it resolves to Website Down Error 523.

                                            And some temp website.
