    Good.

    My VPS provider also migrated away from VMWare - got an email saying VMs would be down temporarily during the move, and the main website no longer contains any references to the virtualization tech. I miss my /64 IPV6 😭 but i’ll happily give that up if it means Broadcom’s dumpster fire comes crashing down as big customers pull the plug and migrate

        I know several large companies looking to Microsoft, Xen, and Proxmox. Though the smart ones are more interested in the open source solutions to avoid future rug-pulls.

              I thought Xen and OpenVZ etc. became obsolete with KVM? But it’s probably for the best that Xen is still used.

                    LXC is for containers, rather than virtual machines

                    I was just saying “obsolete” isn’t a good description; All three still have uses depending on your goals

                    LXC is probably better for most people, and I think Podman is one of the best rootless container options

            Yes…? All are except Microsoft, which is why most companies I work with aren’t looking that way.

          Xen looks great for VPS stuff, and seemed to have good support for vGPUs. That’s what I’d choose as a provider. I wish I used it at home but I ended up going with good ol’ Linux KVM for USB and PCI support.
