      The staffing, the network and storage changes.

      The suggestion to just use KVM and ansible is rather tone def.

      Sounds like someone with limited experience in the industry, honestly.

        Any shop large enough that this is such a massive undertaking is large enough that the people who care about this aren’t the people making financial decisions.

        The good news is this is horrendous for finance as well so unless you cut a deal for your licensing costs because you’re a titan, you’ll be switching.

        Actually, KVM and Ansible are a big part of the industry. KVM as a hypervisor is widely acknowledged in enterprise environments. Meanwhile, Ansible provides great automation for system management tasks. Their combined use for virtualization management and provisioning is not just common but a best practice, backed by a plethora of successful deployments across various industries.
