Awesome work! Overall this is a big win for IT at this org.

>The real gain is that my virtualization layer became text: versioned in Git, watched by an open-source stack I built alongside it, backed up with immutable snapshots that are my first line of defense against ransomware, and above all legible to my tools, including my AI agent.

All of that can be done on Windows Server today with PowerShell tho.

IMHO, the real benefits of Proxmox over Hyper-V are:

1. Access to special hardware features via the Linux kernel, like GVT-g and SR-IOV for graphics acceleration.

2. Much better support for network configuration, monitoring, and packet capture.

2. ZFS

But there are some real reasons to continue with Hyper-V too, like:

1. Better support for Sleep / Wake-on-LAN if you wanted to save power with unused hypervisor capacity.

2. Running and developing for Windows containers.

3. The org has a VDI or remote desktop gateway that leverages Hyper-V's VMConnect protocol.
