I still have a few bigger customers using VMWare, and they want to stay with 
it, at least as a mid-term plan.

[Astlinux-users] VMware by Broadcom

2024-02-15 Thread Lonnie Abelbeck
Hi Group,

With the VMware transition from perpetual licensing to new subscription 
offerings, and the end of free ESXi [1],

should the VMware support in AstLinux change in any way?

If you are currently using AstLinux in a VMware instance, will you continue to 
do so for the future or switch to some other hypervisor?

There is some extra bloat added to the AstLinux VM ISO to support VMware (ex. 
open-vm-tools)

I'm curious how AstLinux VM users are reacting to the VMware transition.
