VMware alternatives for a big environment (Hyper-V, Proxmox, KVM, Nutanix, Citrix?)
OVirt (the free version of RHEV) https://www.ovirt.org/ fits the bill for enterprisey environments

Broadcom to 'focus on rapid transition to subscriptions' for VMware
Or you can go open-source at varying levels of simplicity, from Proxmox to oVirt (probably closest to vSphere) to OpenStack.

IT Pro Tuesday #180 - VoIP Analyzer, VPN Server, VM Solution & More
oVirt is an open-source, distributed virtualization solution for managing your whole enterprise infrastructure. Features include rich, web-based user interfaces; integrated management of hosts, storage and network configuration; live migration of virtual machines and disks between hosts and storage; and high availability of virtual machines in the event of host failure. needmorehardware offers a "big up for Ovirt, which is Redhat based."

Simple private cloud solution
It's not fancy, but I've had a lot of success with oVirt. It's great if you just want simple VMs and it has good features for managing VMs across multiple hardware servers and using shared storage.
-
Free Desktop Virtualization Solutions (preferably open-source) that work well like Amazon Workspaces or VMware Workstation. Any suggestions?
Given you need a free/open-source hypervisor, consider using oVirt on top of production servers and KVM/libvirt on your workstations. oVirt does the same job as VMware ESXi virtualizing your server. https://www.ovirt.org/

Running Docker based web applications in Hashicorp Nomad with Traefik Load balancing
In previous post, we discussed creating a basic Nomad cluster in the Vultr cloud. Here, we will use the cluster created to deploy a load-balanced sample web app using the service discovery capability of Nomad and its native integration with the Traefik load balancer. The source code is available here for the reference.

Embracing Simplicity: The Advantages of Nomad over Kubernetes
In the rapidly evolving landscape of container orchestration and management, two prominent players have emerged: Kubernetes and HashiCorp's Nomad. While Kubernetes has gained widespread adoption and popularity, Nomad provides a compelling alternative that stands out for its simplicity and efficiency. In this blog post, we'll explore the advantages of using Nomad over Kubernetes and why it might be the right choice for certain use cases.

HashiCorp Vault Forked into OpenBao
I can't discern how many are just those "dependabot" bumps but the 1400 forks show some are active https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/forks?include=active&page... including CircleCI who I would think have a stake in a libre Nomad https://github.com/circleci/nomad/tree/circleci/release-1.5....
Now maybe their goals don't align with the community, and/or they don't want to be in the maintainer business for such a project, but better than nothing

Homebrew deprecate and add caveat for HashiCorp
It worth noting that Nomad UI(a official web admin panel) has log tailing utility built-in so maybe partial work has already been done. The developers may have other concerns.
The related issue is https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/issues/10220
Nomad, along with the rest of Hashicorp's flagship products, transitioned to the BUSL-1.1: https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/blob/main/LICENSE

HashiCorp Adopts Business Source License
While I do understand the reasoning in their FAQ on the subject (https://www.hashicorp.com/license-faq). I however failed to noticed those intentions in their license text (https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/commit/b3e30b1dfa185d9437...).
Specifically the part in FAQ which says "internal production use is fine", but then license says that "non-production use only" and then "You may make production use of the Licensed Work, provided such use does not include offering the Licensed Work to third parties on a hosted or embedded basis which is competitive with HashiCorp's products.".
IANAL, but even to me this statement is full loopholes. WHO do we consider 3rd party? WHAT do we consider "hosted or embedded basis"? WHEN do we consider it "competitive with Hashicorps products"?
