Could you build this?
No This tool orchestrates zero-copy live or near-zero downtime VM storage and configuration translation between two completely different hypervisor ecosystems (VMware ESXi and Proxmox/KVM).
What it would actually take: Implementation requires deep systems engineering in Linux, QEMU/KVM, and VMware vSphere APIs. It involves inspecting VMDK descriptors, mapping NFS-backed storage targets dynamically to Proxmox storage pools, parsing and translating VMX configurations to QEMU/KVM specs, handling driver injections (VirtIO drivers for Windows guests), and orchestrating hypervisor-level snapshots and lock transfers without data corruption.
