The question is if any other company would actually have a benefit from that. What i understood is that they managed the vms from the own control panel (anexia-engine), that speaks to the api of vmware, so the customers did not had to access the official vmware tooling at all.
So i think they mostly integrated their tooling into the existing own webpanel that manages the vms using the api. Also they used the netcup kvm stack and extended it for the special needs for the anexia customers. so i guess the engine now also communicates to the netcup based kvm stack. on the anexia specific infrastructure.
As long as you don't run a standard setup, you have so much special cases to cover and adopt to, that a solution like this has to be tailored to this one specific setup and can't easily adopted to any other company
Correction..
1,000/month, a 500% increase would be 6,000/month, 72,000/year, 144,000/2years.
This.
However, let's not forget that even giants can sink the ship. This can very well happen. They've ended the perpetual licenses etc which were saving costs for giant corporations, and they're unlikely to spend money renewing expensive licenses all the time.
The question is, is VMware worth it? It is, but may not be for everyone. They got a lot of money to pay back though, 61B USD for VMware is just nuts.
Yes! They used their custom UI on the top of VM ware, so users might not have difference in ux. Only thing was minor downtime.
... and their (relatively) recent "Vmware now for free!" wasn't generosity but simply driving more cattle into their territory.
As for the annexia engine my first question is "which language, which DB, and supporting which OSs?" and of course "price?".
Broadcom/VMware
imo its pretty obvious that they are exploiting their monopoly position
About 60 percent market share
and then it is doomed. where the eu intervenes, nothing good usually comes of it.
the eu must die so that europe can live!
nah, usually you'd use libvirt or so and set up some puppet or ansible stuff to automate it with a few templates. that's not rocket science and can be done quite reliable.
see above, I'd put my money on libvirt ...
you'd be surprised or rather disappointed I'd say.
a bunch of shell commands will do the job as in most cases a VM is nothing more than a config file for the hypervisor and a disk image. simply announce some maintenance and do the migrations at night, so a little downtime is acceptable if you need to switch networks or whatever.
Totally disagree
you have this right. i fully concede it to you!
the encroaching pseudo-superstate (aka EU) likes to interfere everywhere... and then things usually get worse than before.
Sry but I disagree and Im not in the mood to discuss
here, too, I concede you the right to disagree. as long as you do not deny me the right to my conviction.
What happened, colleague, no luck with giftcards today?
I would never do that ❤️
I got scammed by some bangladeshis
THEY REDEEMED GIFTCARDS INSTEAD OF ME
Joking, a family member is sick and there's no cure. Alzheimer is a bitch and today was not a good day for that person
uff!
i have to go to a funeral next monday. not nice either.
Preliminary info (re my question):
language seems to be Go with some Python and, it seems, some PHP also in the mix, but mainly Go. Also involved: Kubernetes and Terraform.
All in all my impression is that it's a weird mix and somewhat cobbled together, probably as an early reaction to rumors (that now became public) and as an attempt to be among the early alternatives and independence.
Would I trust in it and bet my hosting company on it? Clearly NO.
Do I see potential in it? Yes, I do.
The downfall of VMware is sad. Fuck Broadcom btw
