iX-Workshop: Hands-on Migration von VMware zu Proxmox
Praktische Schritte, Fallstricke vermeiden: Lernen Sie, wie Sie Ihre VMware-Infrastruktur effizient und sicher auf Proxmox VE umstellen.
Want to get rid of license costs of your #VMware environment? Switching to #Proxmox & looking for enterprise features like DRS? #ProxLB (opensource) has you covered!
With ProxLB you extend the features of your Proxmox cluster with DRS alike features including affinity & anti-affinity support, maintenance mode and soon also power management (DPM alike) and automated security patching!
Outstanding! Nguyen Hoang Thach of STARLabs SG used a single integer overflow to exploit #VMware ESXi - a first in #Pwn2Own history. He earns $150,000 and 15 Master of Pwn points. #P2OBerlin
From #VMware to #Proxmox VE: Step-by-Step Escape Plan
#ProxmoxVE has become a popular platform because of its #opensource nature. Using the built-in import tool, they go through the steps for migrating a #virtualmachine from a standalone VMware #ESXi server to Proxmox Virtual Environment.
You can shift workloads with minimal downtime and disruption by following the right preparation steps: verifying compatibility, cleaning up VMware Tools, and configuring import settings.

Broadcom trying to out-Oracle Oracle itself.
This is what unrestricted #capitalism gives you, damaging exploitation and rent-seeking that threatens small business and their workers through extortionist practices like this.
Always prefer Open Source solutions and #selfhosted. Avoid subscription services like the plague they are.

Broadcom says it may audit VMware users.

...noch 2 nur jeweils 2 TB große M.2-Speicherriegel im Rechner (M.2 Formfaktor, PCIe, 3.500/2.500 MB/sec). - Also rd. 6x so schnell.
Trotz Löschung ettlicher Snapshots, unter 2,5 GB packe ich es nicht unter die 2 GB der schneller SSD-Speicherriegel (M.2 Formfaktor, PCIe) zu kommen, auf die ich zur Performance-Erhöhung umziehen möchte.
Meine Idee wäre, einen Linked Clone zu erstellen und dann alle SnapShots zu...

Zwei Frage zu VMware Workstation:
1.) Arbeitet eine (Windows10 64-bit) VM genauso wie ein natives Windows-System, es erstellt auf der SSD eine Auslagerungsdatei fürs Caching?
2.) Kann ich die Größe meiner VM signifikant reduzieren, indem ich einen Linked Clone erstelle?
Hintergrund:
Meine virtual machine (ca. 2,5 GB nach Bereinigung) läuft bislang auf einer sehr großen, aber langsameren SSD (SATA, 541/480 MB/sec).

How to scare away your customers, exhibit 4821: #Broadcom #VMware:
"VMware distributor Arrow says minimum software subs set to jump from 16 to 72 cores.
Claims Broadcom will levy 20 percent #penalty for customers who don’t pay before renewal deadlines"

I don't know you, but if I were a customer for that product, I'd most probably start migration projects today.
#ProxLB - an opensource & advanced VM loadbalancer for #Proxmox clusters. Including affinity & anti-affinity rules, maintenance mode (evacuating nodes) and more. I just published my slides about it.

Seriously, Broadcom... what's the deal lately? 
First up, we've got CVE-2025-22230 hitting VMware Tools for Windows. This nasty bug basically lets standard users inside a VM escalate their privileges to admin level. Yikes! 
With a CVSS score of 7.8, you'll want to jump on this fix ASAP. It impacts versions 11.x.x and 12.x.x, so upgrading to 12.5.1 needs to be right at the top of your list!
But wait, there's more. CrushFTP is also sounding the alarm about unauthenticated access vulnerabilities lurking on HTTP(S) ports in versions 10 and 11. It's definitely time to double-check those DMZ configurations. Rapid7 has confirmed that exploits are out there, allowing unauthorized access. Pretty intense, right?
Stuff like this is a stark reminder: while automated scans have their place, they just don't cut it alone. Real-deal penetration testing is absolutely essential. Those manual checks are what uncover the sneaky issues that automated tools often breeze right past.
What's your take on this recent wave? How are you keeping your own environments locked down tight? Let's talk 
No April Fools' joke - the new #ProxLB release is scheduled for the 1st of April! Stay tuned!
ProxLB is an advanced #loadbalancer for #Proxmox clusters that brings in features like #DRS (known from #VMware), #maintenance mode and (anti-)#affinity groups.
What do you miss in #Proxmox or #XCPng?
My customers often told me, that when migrating from #VMware based setups, they would miss something like #DRS. As a result I published #ProxLB as a load balancer. Now, I do the same for #DPM and also some other things. What do you miss or what stops you or your business from switching to Proxmox or XCPng?

I get more & more mails from people who are happily using my #ProxLB (a loadbalancer for Proxmox) - feel free to leave me a note (if you like, even with some more details). This way, I can better understand the needs of the user base.

@utzer I've got my work laptop set up with #Linux host, Windows guest OS via #vmware
It works great for me, but this laptop is mildly monstrous: 32 cores, 128GB RAM.
Of that, windows gets 8 and 16. I personally wouldn't want to work in there (it's just for email, ppt, etc). But if I had to, I could probably ease the pain by giving it more resources
Virtualization & Proxmox were trending topics in this year and the opportunity of #opensource projects to rise! With #ProxLB you can get features like #DRS (known from #VMware) into #Proxmox, but also several other features that are still missing in Proxmox. Open-Source products provide us the possibility to extend it to our needs.
