If you are used to and like VMwares toolset you wont like Proxmox.
I would not switch an enterprise from VMWare -> Proxmox without a
really thorough analysis of what that will mean.
That said the future of VMware is certainly in question.
- dgfitz 2y agoCheck out xen
- ghaff 2y agoOr KVM. Probably no enterprise type solution like something kubevirt-based really makes sense at that scale.
- birdiesanders 2y agoWe run a few tens of thousands of VMs on kubevirt, it’s quite fantastic.
- ghaff 2y agoWell yeah. I agree. The comment up thread is running a dozen VMs and running Kubernetes with kubevirt for just that is probably overkill.
- schmookeeg 2y ago+1 -- we moved to XCPng when citrix played this same game with xenserver a few years ago, and it's been a very positive move.
- Teever 2y agoHow is xen a suitable alternative to VMware in a situation where proxmox isn't?

- PaulCarrack 2y agoIf you want to run Windows VMs with all the security features enabled, xcp-ng / xen is a non-starter as it's been completely broken for years with no fix in sight: https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/issues/105 https://github.com/xcp-ng/xcp/issues/105 Proxmox / KVM is the only alternative to ESXi that can support all of Windows security mitigations such as Core Isolation, which requires nested virtualization.
