What can VMware do in this vmotion space?

The docs says open source can do a live migration, see https://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Migration and https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_...

The majority of vmware customers could get by with qemu/kvm + pacemaker/corosync, but that requires hiring people who can read a manpage.

Vaguely like MS Active Directory vs Kerberos. The really big thing 'vmotion' provides is 'things just work' vs flexibility of options but more effort required.
