Is anyone leveraging Red Hat OpenShift to replace VMware as a hypervisor offering, and if so, any migration lessons learned to share for those going down that path?

Some organizations are moving from VMware to Red Hat OpenShift, especially with the shift toward containerization. But OpenShift isn’t a direct hypervisor replacement—it’s a platform shift from VMs to Kubernetes-managed containers.

We have licensed OpenShift largely for their AI operator along with a few other operators. We are considering using it to orchestrate some portion of our current VMWare workloads but have just begun reviewing our workload fit-for-purpose.  We are fairly certain it could not support all our workloads.  Would welcome keeping up on the topic.
