Maybe if they were deploying Azure Stack HCI, it'd make a bit more sense... but wtf.

Broadcom has hosed everything it touches, so I suspect this will be no different.

They seem to get switch chips right, the rest? not so much...

Well theres always proxmox i guess :(

We are unironically looking into this and XCP-NG as alternatives...

For us, it would be cheaper to hire people to maintain Proxmox / XCP-NG rather than keep paying for VMware.

Also, this. I don't see VMware doing well under Broadcom with the changes they've announced, between the licensing changes and selling off all the workstation products.

IMHO, VMware is hosed long-term, but Broadcom is going to squeeze existing customers for a while before they can switch to more cost-effective solutions.

Mainly, I'm just wondering whether Proxmox is reliable and maintained well enough to replace ESXi at home at this point. I've never run into it in the wild, so I have zero experience with it, but at least on paper, it sounds like the platform I'd want to move to (free, supports Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD guest VMs, has some sort of web UI for easy admin tasks, has an API, supports ZFS for VM storage, supports device passthrough so I can pass my GPU through to my Plex VM).

Proxmox is fine for home use. Don't enable clustering just for shits and giggles, read the docs first. I would consider HA an advanced feature.

There's always Azure Stack HCI :v:

I'd rather pay for vmware than deal with that poo poo. Hell, I just sunk a 18 month IT project at work where they tried to push ASHCI on us for OT / SCADA poo poo. It did not survive the IEC 62443-based risk assessment.

I suspect we will see a lot more proxmox over time.

OpenStack is a no-go, but it sounds like XCP-ng is worth investigating? At least for professional use. I'm happy with proxmox for home use / single host stuff.

Can you tell us a bit more about what you are really trying to do here? That sounds cumbersome...
