Performance comparison between various Hypervisors (dasite.quattrofan.de)

I spent a few days comparing various Hypervisors under the same workload and on the same hardware. This is a very specific workload and results might be different when testing oher workloads.

I wanted to share it here, because many of us run very modest Hardware and getting the most out of it is probably something others are interested in, too. I wanted to share it also because maybe someone finds a flaw in the configurations I ran, which might boost things up.

If you do not want to go to the post / read all of that, the very quick summary is, that XCP-ng was the quickest and KVM the slowest. There is also a summary at the bottom of the post with some graphs if that interests you. For everyone else who reads the whole post, I hope it gives some useful insights for your self-hosting endeavours.

What I am missing is ESXi/vSphere. Would be quite important for the few people that have access to the eval ressources to set it up.
Same for the BSD versions. I think Beehive?

[–] buedi@feddit.org 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Sure, ESXi would have been interesting. I thought about that, but I did not test it because it is not interesting to me anymore from a business perspective. And I am not keen of using it in my Homelab, so I left that out and use that time to do something relaxing. It's my holiday right now :-)

VMware’s predatory practices make wary of their products. I’m avoiding it for all new installs.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

Totally fair. Just as a suggestion.

Why do you need vSphere for self hosting?

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

You ask for a "why deploy this [software]" in this community?

Anyway...Simply: Why not? =)

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Proxmox does clustering and should have most of the same features. While you are welcome to run whatever you want I think vSphere is getting a bit pricey.

[–] Zeoic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not even just pricey, but unpurchasable in many cases. Broadcom is really fucking it up

They are just making a living.

In fact, there customers were stealing from them previously.
