For people, businesses looking for an alternative there is XCPng + Xen Orchestra, by Vates, a French company selling support for their otherwise FOSS stack if I understand correctly. They’ve truly built something very well designed with an explicit migration path from vmware.
I’m not affiliated but I did explore it for my homelab. At the time they didn’t yet have a stable ZFS support, which they do now, so I went a different route but it’s really matured and they are good stewards of FOSS with monthly streams to discuss their changes and with a blog about their objectives.
