Architect builds open-source replacement for hidden VMware migration tool

Original: Architect creates open-source replacement for VM migration tool VMware has hidden

A software architect has released an open-source alternative to VMware's virtual machine migration tool, which Broadcom quietly pulled from public access after acquiring VMware. The new tool lets administrators convert physical and virtual machines into formats usable by other hypervisors without relying on the discontinued utility. Admins managing VMware estates are discussing the project as they weigh migration options following Broadcom's licensing changes.

Why now: Broadcom's takeover of VMware and its removal of the free migration tool have pushed administrators to look for alternatives
