Thiis is fully supported, works very well, and probably has no subscription cost impact on most users.",

We did a direct comparison between two VM's and it was a clear advantage towards the vmware. Sure, kvm will get better and for some cases it is even used in production,Yes, Oracle, you, but not for just any system :) Just keep swimming.",

With the uncertainty around Broadcom's VMware strategy, we're evaluating a move to bare metal.\n\nOne option I'm considering is using KVM on standalone physical servers and deploying OpenShift on top of that instead of running directly on bare metal.\n\nThe main advantages I see are:\n\nBetter server sharing across environments\n\nMore flexible capacity management\n\nEasier backup and recovery\n\nReduced dependency on VMware\n\nAm I overlooking something? What are the main trade-offs compared to running OpenShift directly on bare metal? I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has taken a similar path.",
