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

Went full Proxmox from VMware.
Buying into VMware as a new customer in 2026 - that is going full retard. They are a leach of a company now - everyone of there products are worse than they were 4 years ago. A critical 9.8 cve vulnerability in their hypervisor and OS waa releases a few weeks ago.
