The company I’m at right now is on this boat as well

Quadruple the price, half of customers leave, you’re still ahead.
I chuckled at the part at the end, that basically says “some people voiced concerns over switching to an open source solution because of support and SLAs”. It’s like, “yoooo, you just got fucked, in a concerted effort by a large company to shed customers that ‘don’t matter’ to them. What makes you think an open source could be worse than this?”
Companies could switch to full Linux computing and use KVM/QEmu.
Problem solved
I would also throw Xen into the mix - I really liked running it at home until the server physically died.
Try proxmox. L
Had it in my previous place. Worked well enough
I know when they jacked the price up on my buddy’s company they went to self hosting or AWS where applicable.
I know we are.
We moved to Nutanix a few years ago and haven’t looked back. Considered Proxmox but had a larger overhead and the support wasn’t as good, but it looked pretty solid too.
We have a single cluster at work - it’s possible I’m missing something, but the appeal is just not there.
