Would guess that they probably migrated to proxmox
I know several large companies looking to Microsoft, Xen, and Proxmox. Though the smart ones are more interested in the open source solutions to avoid future rug-pulls.
Proxmox is open source
So is Xen.
I thought Xen and OpenVZ etc. became obsolete with KVM? But it's probably for the best that Xen is still used.
Xen is a type 1 hypervisor, KVM is a type 2 hypervisor
It runs on the bare metal itself as dom0
Doh I meant LXC 🤦 instead of KVM.
LXC is for containers, rather than virtual machines
I was just saying “obsolete” isn’t a good description; All three still have uses depending on your goals
LXC is probably better for most people, and I think Podman is one of the best rootless container options
Yes...? All are except Microsoft, which is why most companies I work with aren't looking that way.
Xen looks great for VPS stuff, and seemed to have good support for vGPUs. That's what I'd choose as a provider. I wish I used it at home but I ended up going with good ol' Linux KVM for USB and PCI support.
Nutanix is another one.
