I am really wanting to get my feet wet into some Ubuntu/KVM systems. I have setup a DevStack lab, and a vanilla Ubuntu KVM server. Is the current offering for GUI KVM management really this bad? The Virtual Machine Manager is really quite clunky, and Proxmox... I am comfortable with CLI, but I am spoiled with ESXi and Vsphere. Is there anything out there that is even half as nice as Virtualbox, as far as GUI management of KVM?

Basically just to explore and play with that hypervisor. I have a bunch of experience with ESXi and I am completely comfortable with it. I just like to explore other options, and push my comfort zones.

This is all really great information and insight. Thanks for helping me to understand how KVM fits in to the greater picture of things. As you can tell I'm greatly uninformed as to how Esxi truly compares or doesn't compare to KVM based virtualization platforms.

I did snap shots but I've read to not trust them. I bought just vSphere Essentials, not the plus so I don't have the cool things like Vmotion. My company is small so I have to do things the cheapest way possible most of the time. Digital_Jesus posted:Veeam. B&R Essentials is cheap per socket.
