It’s been amazing. The thing I like the most is being able to live-motion it to another node to upgrade the host then migrate back. Doesn’t drop a ping.
I’m using some ancient Dell rackmount servers for nodes, and a couple times the prime server dropped off entirely because of power issues, and I didn’t notice for a couple weeks that it had jumped hosts. I’ve also had to restore it from backup because of a borked upgrade, and it took maybe 5 minutes.
I thought that it would be a bad idea but I tried it with the original baremetal router that I lift and shifted to a VM then put the source on standby, and 5 years later, I would not go back.
