You can do live migration like that with qemu, I do it all the time with Proxmox, which uses qemu under the hood.

You’re not wrong in 2025. But VMware was able do it in 2003.

  True. Your response just seemed to imply that the two aren’t comparable in 2025, and they absolutely are.

    No problem. I just thought I had covered that when I said:
    
    That’s some incredible stuff. Now days you can use things like XCP-ng to do the same but VMware was ahead of the pack for a decade.
    
    They started dying when they were squeezed between cloud hyper scalars and the cheaper alternative hypervisors that finally had caught up.
    
    This being said I don’t think even in 2025 proxmox and things like vsphere are comparable. XCP-ng I do think is though. It’s open source and matches features.
