DYAM I dodged a bullet. My VMWare renewal came due in December but we pulled the rip cord and went to Proxmox because the renewal was more than the price of the VMHost machine and the licenses for all the VMs running on it.
We had VMware, new office I told them we are shifting to Proxmox. The licensing just wasn’t worth it compared, especially with the features we use as a small enterprise client.
This just confirms the decision was the right one for us too.
I have to wonder how many are out there doing the same and now getting a support license, hopefully a good amount to give the team some revenue to keep things moving well on their end.
At my last place we had a decked out vmware. SAN, HA, hot migration. When I came to he new place I brought the mindset with me, but you have to need it to make it worth it.
Yeah that support license is solid, especially since most of us don’t actually call them with any questions :)
Sooner or later they’ll probably make it a pay / community duality like everything else, but for the moment, it’s the absolute best
Proxmox is awesome. Debian underneath means you can do whatever you want. And the tools in proxmox are pretty damn good especially with automation scripts.

We did the same thing. Been VMWare customer for over 12yr and slowly migrating to Proxmox. So far pretty happy with it.
