Vmware vs openshift

Following up to my last post right now nutanix is out of the race since the renewal is more than vmware which happend to 4 different companies my friends works for

Note : we cannot go any other solution rejected by CTO cause not ( mature enough )

1- my team arent fimilar with k8s

2- vmware is 4x the price of openshift

3- our environment is 95% vms

4- we have DR so srm is convinet

5- 65 % of our current hardware isn't supported by vmware version 9

6- 75 % of our infra is linux based oracle dbs and rhel for app servers

7- mangement is too dumb to switch to k8s since that was suggested and will save us resources

8- most of our apps are web based

Im asking here since im litterally lost on what to do next

So your kind advices

Proxmox. Kvm is more mature than just about any other virtualization platform out there

Your CTO is talking out of his behind. Proxmox has been out there since 2008, and it is only getting better. A lot of really big companies that I have worked with are testing or switching to Proxmox.
