Migrating out of VMWare and on to open source alternatives

This is a burning subject at the moment with Broadcom being how they 
are.
An article on migration would probably be 10 pages long if we go into 
technical details, but super-high-level I would say the required things 
you need to have to attempt this type of endeavour are:

1 - a _will_ to make it happen, because simple or easy it will not be and 
it will also be a major cultural change inside your business or 
project.

2 - _good_ sysadmins, good linux people that are able to deal with things at 
all the levels of the stack relatively easily.

You are about to leave the comfortable cage of VMWare, open source is 
there to ease your fall, but also gives you the tools to shoort 
yourself in the foot.

Before you start, make sure you are prepared.
