I was a VMware admin. I drank the freakin koolaid. Got the certs. I was planning on a career as an architect. Did ok.

Then Broadcom. Fukers.

My boss said screw em, we go Proxmox. So now I live and breathe Proxmox.
PVE is a heap of janky hax, so you gotta get expert real fast.
PBS is cutting edge software that breaks twice a week, so ya gotta get expert real fast.
And now I'm an expert. Especially at PBS. DR. Site-to-site. I can do that shit.

Now that I have this new skillset, where can I use it?

I used to use VMware religiously for software testing across several different versions at once. Had a nice stack of VM's of our corporate software going all the way from win2000 installs to Win11. Then, we we went SaaS so all the different versions became obsolete. Regardless, if I were to do it over, it would definitely be Proxmox now. No way I'd ever willingly support Broadcom.

Broadcom stole my career. Fukem. I've put my bets on Proxmox.
The PVE product needs to be ground-up replaced, but if it gets popular, they will do that.
PBS is the future. I am on board.
