Local gov, we were directed to go to Hyper-V... We'll see how it goes

Consider Xen?

Hyper-V is decent. It's VMM that is atrocious. Hopefully you don't have Citrix with MCS catalogs.

Hyperv has shit automation support and doesn't provide native apis to work with. You need vmm or some third layer to talk to. That's where the shit starts

I'm a net admin so I don't deal much on hypervisors but I'm a bit surprised.

Does it actually have shit automation support, or do you just not like the APIs?

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It does not provide apis like that without third party softeare

You can't control hyperv via powershel, winrm, or wmi?
