SUSE Virtualization Likes & Dislikes
Harvester has built-in redundancy with live migration between nodes. Automatic failover and live migration between nodes allows for Harvester updates without downtime. I can lose a node and keep things running. Live migration is fantastic because there are no interruptions while doing maintenance in an organization that runs 24/7. We have few and far between maintenance windows so this sort of hypervisor is absolutely necessary for environments like mine.
There are options that I can mix and match for my organization's needs. Oh, and did I mention the ability to do a full POV with their community version? Yes, there is absolutely no risk in trying out their technology to determine fit for any organization.
How its integration with Rancher simplifies the creation and maintenance of Kubernetes clusters with its networking integration, particularly its simplicity in VLAN isolation and resource management, which enables us to create k8s VMs (nodes) in any network in our datacenter.
The learning curve with using Harvester is a bit steep. Not just for the basic operation, but implementing it in a complex environment does require a lot of preliminary groundwork and understanding of its parts. I had to learn a lot about kubevirt in the command line, which was fun, but also a bit stressful after some self-inflicted wounds.
A few are not a good fit for my team. We use other products. However, many of the technologies that we use, we love.
Upgrade procedure with heavy load VMs can be very long and needs fine tuning.

A stable cost-effective virtualization platform best suited for SUSE enterprise environments
Overall experience with SUSE Virtualization has been positive, especially in environments already standardized with SUSE Linux. The platform delivers reliable virtualization capabilities, good performance and strong alignment with enterprise and SAP workloads. Deployment and daily operations are straight forward, and the solution prioritizes stability and long-term support. However, the ecosystem, UI maturity and advance automation features are not yet as polished or feature rich as some larger, more established competitors.
