    What exactly is the USP for VMware that makes it worth the premium? Is it just installed inertia?

      VMware did certain enterprise things very well, eg, when you are maintaining multiple data centers and thousands of images.

      Specifically, lifecycle management, target state configuration, failover/HA, virtual networking and storage pools, and more. OpenNebula and proxmox just don’t cut it for this large enterprise use case, unless you have a significant amount of home-grown tooling.
