Vier europäische Verbände haben einen offenen Brief an die Europäische Kommission geschickt. Und beschweren sich darüber, dass #VMware nach dem Kauf durch Broadcom plötzlich teurer geworden ist, und auch sonst sein Geschäftsmodell zu Lasten seiner Kunden geändert hat.
Ich frage mich, ob die Politik da wirklich helfen kann. Was haben die den Verbänden angeschlossenen Unternehmen denn getan, um sich gegen dieses erwartbare Verhalten des mächtigen Lieferanten abzusichern?
Mag sein, dass VMware den einen oder anderen Vorteil gegenüber Open-Source Lösungen hat. Aber sich deswegen in eine solche Abhängigkeit zu begeben, das ist deren private, unternehmerische Entscheidung.
2024 ist das Jahr, in dem Broadcom der Welt erklärt die Bedeutung von Digitaler Souveränität erklärt.
🗜️Broadcom slammed by cloud trade group amid claims it's "holding the sector to ransom" with VMware license changes - ITPro
「 The Cloud Infrastructure Service Providers in Europe (CISPE) consortium called on regulatory and legislative bodies across Europe to investigate the changes Broadcom has made to the VMware operating model, which it says will “decimate” the region’s cloud infrastructure 」
I don't know why #Broadcom wants to throw away the $69 billion they spent on #VMware, but customers and partners alike are abandoning the new "improved" VMware.
New flaws identified (CVE-2024-22245 & CVE-2024-22250) in the EAP plugin. Attackers could exploit them to hijack #ActiveDirectory accounts and privileged EAP sessions.
Now that #Vmware is dead, what is your «plan B» for on prem #virtualization ?
At work, I don’t think we can’t afford a migration to #proxmox : storage support is a mess and Ceph is probably a no-go.
On prem #hyperv is slowly going down the hill as Microsoft is pushing everyone to Azure.
Before the licencing change we had to pay about 14K€/year for support.
Now we would have to pay ~180K€/year.
Keep getting tx hang errors on #VMware#ESXi with my #Kubernetes cluster nodes (likely due to a busy ingress?). So fucking tempted to migrate to #Proxmox, but 1) how would I be able to retain my existing servers (half of which are pretty critical) and 2) idk if it would even be a fix for this specific issue.
#Homelabber (s) with experience with both for their #homelab (s), feel free to chime in for any differences between the two - I'm also interested in how compatible Proxmox is with general desktop hardware. My ESXi based server uses pretty much all off the shelf desktop parts (Ryzen 7 1700, B450, etc.) and it's been serving me well, tho I did have to customise the installer ISO and add some drivers for the SATA ports and NIC.
