VMware price hikes? Between 800 and 1,500%, claim Euro customers (theregister.com)

Virtualbox is owned by Oracle, another litigious corporation. What's left? KVM seems good, right? (Honest question)

I'd recommend to make the switch to libvirt(d) based VMs.

There's a lot of open source UIs and enterprise-grade provisioning UIs, both native and web, available for it. libvirt also has first class support to convert and import from vmware images.

For our small startup, we use cockpit, but there's also a KubeVirt integration for kubernetes daemons/UIs. And I heard Foreman is a good alternative, too.

VirtualBox is FOSS, so it's fine to use despite being owned by Oracle. Just don't use the Extension Pack.
