    If you are considering to use Docker and Kubernetes then you can give a try to OpenVZ and Proxmox. It is a good alternative and it is as good as Docker and Kubernetes

    I believe that Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization is a very promising option for hypervisor at the moment and it seems to be improving quickly. Red Hat is doing a great job working with customers on feature set requests and improving UX and stability

    Pros

    • It's a one pane of glass, so when we have Rev only it was a hypervisor for VMs. OpenShift, you can put Ansible in it, you can hook into satellite, it can do with OpenShift AI. You can do AI models and stuff like that. So I think it's more like a Swiss Army knife rather than a fire extinguisher.

    Cons
    Virtuozzo
    • Since it is a container-based solution, you can't run any other OS, except for Linux
    • It is not so popular as Docker, but it's not that bad

    Red Hat
    • Because of how different virtualization is done, there is a learning curve to overcome when switching to it from another hypervisor.
    • Documentation needs to be improved. Just finding the details to set it up is a burden that will keep some people using it.

    OpenShift is really easy of use through its management console. OpenShift gives a very large flexibility through many inbuilt functionalities, all gathered in the same place (it's a very convenient tool to learn DevOps technics hands on) OpenShift is an ideal integrated development / deployment platform for containers

    The product is maturing at an amazing rate, but there is still work to do to reach existing VMware customers. Most notably are the HA/DR features, and backup/recovery. We need to have faster backup capabilities, and I know this is in the works with change block tracking - but it is a challenge today. Some users are also scared by the number of volumes created by Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, as opposed to the number of VMFS volumes they are used to.

    I've not noticed any significant performance impacts with Red Hat OpenShift. I think the development team has put a lot of effort into ensuring that it is performant. And so performance typically is not a major concern for us with Red Hat OpenShift.

    Kubernetes and Docker are de-facto standards today, but I think that OpenVZ and Proxmox are better solutions

    Red Hat OpenShift is a more complete and integrated platform, with lots of out of the box components that the other platforms don't have, and customers need to stack lots of other software in order to have monitoring, cost management, log management, user policies governance, and more. Another great benefit Red Hat OpenShift delivers ir the supported operators.

    • The TCO of OpenShift is lower than with VMware
    • Implementing VMware has allowed us to drop third party solutions that were effectively required to have a proper vmware deployment
    • Licensing over has become less complicated as we also no longer need separate RHEL licesnes
