Just what the world needs, more software subscriptions. /s
Though we are talking about Broadcom, so I can’t say I am surprised.
Is anyone surprised. Broadcom’s entire business is based on NDA locked proprietary hardware. Exploiters are going to exploit.
good thing that there are more solutions to virtualization than VMWare. Fuck Breadcrumb.
Not really in production though. Anything serious runs on esxi if it’s on prem servers. Maybe this will change that, but I doubt it.
Yeah we did a pretty thorough review this year in the hopes of ditching VMware… Landscape is pretty bleak tbh
Only one I would maybe like to give a PoC would be nutanix. unfortunately red hat virt is being deprecated soon, to be replaced by ovirt which is def not prod ready

Not exactly. oVirt is the upstream open source project that Red Hat Virtualization was based on. It is never and will never be “production ready.” Because they don’t sell support for it.
Red Hat does not have a replacement for RHV. You can use OpenShift Virtualization to make virtual machines, but it’s not designed to be a replacement for RHV or a competitor to VMware. It is designed to be a stepping stone for people looking to containerize their workloads or keep that one legacy app around that can’t be containerized. You might be better served by OpenStack, but that’s an entire cloud orchestration tool, and the next version will require OpenShift to host the control plane.
Nutanix is probably the best competitor to VMware. Proxmox is another solution that would be great for small to medium businesses. SUSE’s Rancher team is working on Harvester, which could become something that competes. Honestly, there isn’t a lot of competition in this market because it’s not where growth is. People are moving to containers and kubernetes. Even VMware knows it and they are playing catch up with Tanzu.

The enshittification continues. Surely there has to be a bottom to this.
Don’t start the /s
Anyway this is good as it will boost competition in the virtualization space (hopefully)
