ROBO licenses are gone. We saw licensing costs for servers at those sites go up 5x.
We have a few years left on our main clusters licensing, but we are already investigating moving off vmware because we expect more of the same.
Where are you jumping to? I hear people going Hyper-V and nutanix(?)
Local gov, we were directed to go to Hyper-V... We'll see how it goes
Consider Xen?
Hyper-V is decent. It's VMM that is atrocious. Hopefully you don't have Citrix with MCS catalogs.
Hyperv has shit automation support and doesn't provide native apis to work with. You need vmm or some third layer to talk to. That's where the shit starts
I'm a net admin so I don't deal much on hypervisors but I'm a bit surprised.
Does it actually have shit automation support, or do you just not like the APIs?
It does not provide apis like that without third party softeare
You can't control hyperv via powershel, winrm, or wmi?
I'm a little scared Hyper-V will turn into Azure
Bit late, the path is already there with Azure Arc
The problem is what happens if they pull a VMware. They could just bump up licensing costs so that you end up spending the same as you would to be in the cloud
MS is currently going through some legal battles in the EU about unfair pricing so it will be interesting how that turns out.
