Hyper-V is decent. It’s VMM that is atrocious. Hopefully you don’t have Citrix with MCS catalogs.

Hyperv has shit automation support and doesn’t provide native apis to work with. You need vmm or some third layer to talk to. That’s where the shit starts

The problem is what happens if they pull a VMware. They could just bump up licensing costs so that you end up spending the same as you would to be in the cloud
