Proxmox is a decent option, or just use kvm provisioning directly with ansible.
So many companies can’t do this.
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.
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.
I'm well aware of both, been in the industry for over 20 years.
But you still don't seem to comprehend the cost or difficulty of the change.
Frankly the support options don't seem very good either.
Deployment is not even half the battle, ongoing support is where the troubles really come out.
