Comment on Broadcom-owned VMware kills the free version of ESXi virtualization software

  +1 … been using PVE in my homelab for ages and just deployed a small, self-contained (i.e. non-SAN-connected) PVE cluster at the office in light of Broadcom’s shenanigans. I had no idea just how fantastically well Proxmox ran on higher-end hardware with Ceph installed. It’s glorious.

    Oh yeah it runs fine until they kill their free tier like ESXi did or… it completely fails over and over again.

      Proxmox doesn’t have a free tier, it is free.

      You can pay for support and shit if you want.

      Since you are apparently on an anti-proxmox crusade. Have you tried that iscus thing in enterprise? Like a very large scale production deployment? Since I have never heard of it, I am curious if anyone dares to use it in enterprise when people are even scared of proxmox or anything not VMware or MAYBE hyperV

        Maybe if you read the comment I linked you’ll find that that’s precisely what we had with Proxmox and then migrated to LXD.
