Red Hat is offering OpenShift virtualization, which is Kubernetes with Kubevirt. So some people might just use Kubernetes with Kubevirt.

There's also Harvester "open source hyperconverged infrastructure" https://harvesterhci.io/

Or some Xen spinoff like https://xcp-ng.org/

Smaller shops are migrating to Proxmox.



I don’t really consider OpenShift in the same category. VMWare and its enabling software such as vSphere and vCenter are in another category than OpenShift to the point that there is a symbiotic relationship between VMWare and Dell in the corporate/enterprise setting


Red Hat has an implementation of OpenStack, which is more of a VMware replacement than OpenShift is.


Do not ever use openshift


Can you explain why I shouldn't use OpenShift?


I know they pulled a mini-Broadcom on us and sharply raised all our prices after our first two years of having our OpenShift clusters.


They have a dominant percentage of banking workloads at this point.


This is damning with faint praise.


I can confirm this, from my experience. Many organizations have foregone ms in lieu of redhat and oracle, and redhat is slowly injecting openshift where they can fit it.


but it's alright. getting out of openshift is rather easy.

getting out of vmware is a different story.


> getting out of vmware is a different story

Not really, wasn't difficult
