Jeff Hunter Worries Me Quite a Bit

What's funny is that started with a discussion on cloning. I can fully clone on my KVM boxes in less than 5 seconds. It takes about a minute and a half to two minutes on our VMware boxes.
Linked clones with a backing store happen immediately on KVM just like on VMware. I don't see the upside to paying for that.

@scottalanmiller if this is the kind of logic VMWare has, then no thank you, ever.
I'm told it's because Nutanix was trying to promote something very not-free as being free. And this was out of context in a fight between Vmware and Nutanix. If that's true, Nutanix baited VMware pretty well because that conversation doesn't exist, it's just VMware making insane claims.
In all honesty he didn't promote anything. Just said "love my free hypervisor." Which has some truth. AHV is just KVM.

Supposedly he might have deleted some of his comments. So there might have been more conversation than is visible. But even so, Jeff didn't respond to him he just posted the comment without any context.

Linked clones with a baking store happen immediately on KVM just like on VMware. I don't see the upside to paying for that.
Because, obviously, you get what you pay for.

Here's all that's visible. Doesn't seem to be anything deleted as it all makes sense.

Sorry those are uploaded backwards. Hard to do on the phone.

How do you see that? If you go to Jeff's page, there is no such thread. The screen shot that I gave is all that there was.

Yeah. That's why I said earlier that no real cloud provider uses them. They don't want the lock in and they can "usually" get better performance.
OpenStack on a 380G6. Spinning up takes about 20-30 seconds but that's with full cloud init provisioning.
Honestly, I don't personally care what's on the other end as long as I can use an API to control it or just define it in a text file somehow. So I don't see any benefits from a UI.

Nicholson had the original tweet. Just go to his.

That's confusing because it shows me in that conversation but I only responded to Jeff via a different context.

If I was running full Windows I might see some benefits. But with distributed systems and not having the Linux specific tools like libguestfs it makes it not worth it at all.

That link lacks all of the context too and still looks like Jeff is just making the attack for the purpose of the attack. And shows me responding in the wrong context. And nothing else.

And on pure Linux we could just move to containers, too.

Yeah. Rather than giving users the ability to edit tweets and follow threads easier they decided to give them a 280 character limit

When I go to it I see what I posted earlier. I didn't see your reply at all.

Oh it was clear at the bottom. I don't post much on Twitter so I don't really follow stuff well.
