I know of a couple people using Hyper-V. I just don't trust Microsoft to be my hypervisor. That may be ildeserved, but it is what it is.
Proxmox is based on Debian, so quite stable and supports both VMs and containers. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken Hohhof" <af...@kwisp.com> To: "AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group" <af@af.afmug.com> Sent: Sunday, September 27, 2020 9:48:14 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Virtual machines I never hear anyone say they are using Hyper-V, I assume that is not even in the running unless you are a hardcore Microsoft shop or want to host in the Azure cloud?

I've used Proxmox for 10+ years and VMWare for probably 8 years. I'm phasing out VMWare in favor of Proxmox. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lewis Bergman" < lewis.berg...@gmail.com > To: "AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group" < af@af.afmug.com > Sent: Sunday, September 27, 2020 9:27:22 AM Subject: [AFMUG] Virtual machines I have decided I needed to get on the VM train. I know, I am only 15 years behind. Honestly, till now I haven't had a compelling reason. I want something that will at least do some monitoring of VM's, backups, snapshots, etc. Managed upgrading would be great but not as big a priority for me (at least I don't think so). Since I don't know what I don't know, I am asking the experienced crowd. It seems the two real choices are VMWare and Zen. Are there others? Commercial support seems nice, is it worth paying for? What I will run is important for sure. I spent a few hours last night and I more confused now than when I started. -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
