As I understand it, most companies are making transition plans away from VMware. A lot of contracts are multi-year, and transistioning your virtual infrastructure is one hell of a project if you have any amount of complexity to your infrastructure.
It’s also one of those types of projects that is likely to be pushed down in priority whenever there’s fires to fight. The price hike is absolutely insane, but in the balance of things it might be better business sense to keep paying while you investigate alternatives and migration plans.
That’s what our company is doing right now. Currently using VMware vcenter. We’ve started talks with IBM/redhat about open shift virtualization. I have to maintain redhat ansible automation platform, automation hub and a redhat openshift containerization cluster.
Based on how absolutely terrible it is to maintain those and how absolutely terrible redhat support is, I keep trying to talk my company out of their current talks with redhat openshift virtualization.
It doesn’t help that redhat’s tech team keep fucking up answers in their meetings with our team about their platform and our questions about feature party with vmware
