I think this is very interesting. I've been investigating the solutions and found that a lot of other platforms like scale hci, virtuozzo, and oracle VM are all based on the oVirt/Openstack platforms but have been customized.
Openshift and Suse Harvester both have a very similar Kubernetes first approach which I think is interesting. Harvester seems to rely on KubeVirt to deploy "legacy workloads" (probably windows).
The reason I mention openshift though is because I've been paying attention to Wendell, level1techs, and the level1 forums and Wendell keeps hinting that Redhat/IBM openshift + intel is being used as a VDI platform featuring Intel flexGPUs for a secret customer (I wouldn't be surprised if it was a government facility like the national laboratory near Knoxville). I'm just trying to envision how that deployment looks.
I find it peculiar that everybody in this discussion is ignoring Hashicorp's stuff??
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HashiCorp
I glanced at Proxmox vs Hashicorp's stuff, after seeing some discussions on here about 'em, & Hashicorp's stuff is oriented to clarity & simplicity.
Sorta Japanese take on it.
To me clarity is worth a significant amount of value.
Anyways, I'm just noting this, for anyone who's actually considering such things: I'm only a nobody who has avoided geeking for some years.

I never thought of hashicorps products as a replacement for VMware but more of an add on to it.
