7MS #622: Migrating from vCenter to Proxmox - Part 1
Sadly, the Broadcom acquisition of VMWare has hit 7MinSec hard – we love running ESXi on our NUCs, but ESXi free is no longer available. To add insult to injury, our vCenter lab at OVHcloud HQ got a huge price gouge (due to license cost increase; not OVH’s fault).
