@GossiTheDog i wish. We looked at it, did the calculations, and came to the conclusion that we can't ditch VMware. We have too much Stuff that is specifically required to run on VMware (and often Windows on top of that). Which sucks hard, because as a public hospital we don't exactly shit money.

@JmbFountain @GossiTheDog out of curiosity, what do you have that has that as a hard requirement? Windows I get, but something that cares about the hypervisor used (and can’t use any generic kvm/proxmox/xen/whatever)?

@matt @GossiTheDog medical. Basically, the software provider gets to choose a tech stack, gets it certified and we have to use that stack. We are also not allowed to install additional software (antivirus, EDR, monitoring, inventory...) on those machines, or AD join them or update them. This is sadly fairly typical in this field.
