How to migrate a Virtual Machine from Proxmox to Vmware ESXI
There are many virtualization solutions in the world and companies can select one of them or some of them to deploy virtual environment.
The most used ones are Proxmox and Vmware Vsphere.
KVM is a popular hypervisor for server virtualization. It realizes CPU and storage virtualization by calling the core features of Linux to make Linux core become the virtualization layer. Sometimes KVM will work with QEMU emulator.
Because KVM is a free open-source virtualization solution, it is often chosen by companies in the beginning when there are limited budgets. After years, the applications on the servers need better compatibility. Most companies will select the excellent solution VMware vSphere, which is expensive but is the leading server virtualization in the world.
VMware supports only .vmdk format of image. If you want to use KVM image on VMware.
