Broadcom ends VMware perpetual license sales, testing customers and partners

Already-purchased licenses can still be used but will eventually lose support.

Just what the world needs, more software subscriptions. /s

Though we are talking about Broadcom, so I can't say I am surprised.

Is anyone surprised. Broadcom's entire business is based on NDA locked proprietary hardware. Exploiters are going to exploit.
The enshittification continues. Surely there has to be a bottom to this.
- Only when we get past money as a motivational factor.
  
  So never.
good thing that there are more solutions to virtualization than VMWare. Fuck Breadcrumb.
- Not really in production though. Anything serious runs on esxi if it's on prem servers. Maybe this will change that, but I doubt it.
  
  AWS is based on Xen
Don't start the /s

Anyway this is good as it will boost competition in the virtualization space (hopefully)
- I've seen an uptick in Openshift adoption
