Businesses are migrating from VMs to containers for increased speed, efficiency, and flexibility. Recent industry changes have accelerated this shift, making it vital to address costs, complexity, interoperability, and support concerns. Organizations are recognizing the deep integration of VMs in their applications, infrastructure, networking, security, and cloud deployments, requiring careful consideration of each technical trade-off. It's not just about comparing VM migration to a single alternative; a combination of KVM, Hyper-V, and other platforms may be necessary. Architectural considerations are crucial for deciding the best strategy for keeping some workloads on VMs and moving others. A comprehensive platform approach and services are essential.
