Price hikes of over 2x widely expected under Broadcom’s VMware, survey finds
300 director-level IT workers making VMware decisions were questioned.
I may only use VMware workstation pro for desktop virtualization for lab use, and I do realize the ramifications for enterprise operations are exponentially greater. But even I am getting a worse service. I used to be able to google an issue, find a link to the VMware forum and just open that. Now *.vmware.com redirects to broadcom.com and searching for the post there seldom finds it again. Absolutely brilliant timing for google to kill cached pages.
The broadcom takeover has fucked us all.
ROBO licenses are gone. We saw licensing costs for servers at those sites go up 5x.
We have a few years left on our main clusters licensing, but we are already investigating moving off vmware because we expect more of the same.
Where are you jumping to? I hear people going Hyper-V and nutanix(?)
Local gov, we were directed to go to Hyper-V… We’ll see how it goes
Consider Xen?
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
I’m a net admin so I don’t deal much on hypervisors but I’m a bit surprised.
Does it actually have shit automation support, or do you just not like the APIs?
It does not provide apis like that without third party softeare
You can’t control hyperv via powershel, winrm, or wmi?
