VergeIO Unveils End-to-End Automation Chain
Ann Arbor, MI — December 9, 2025 VergeIO, the VMware alternative built on a single,integrated codebase, announced new support for HashiCorp Packer and Ansible, completingan end-to-end infrastructure automation chain for Enterprise IT and CSPs deployinginfrastructure on VergeOS. With this release, VergeOS customers can now automate the full lifecycle of their environments:image creation, resource provisioning, configuration, and monitoring. The integration extends VergeOS into modern Infrastructure-as-Code ecosystems and aligns it with automation pipelines already used by platform engineering and DevOps teams.Delivering a True End-to-End Infrastructure Automation ChainThe VergeOS automation chain now enables: This chain provides organizations with a predictable, repeatable foundation for deploying andmanaging infrastructure while maintaining control over every step, from image build to ongoing operations. “This release raises the bar for automation in private cloud environments,” said Yan Ness, CEOof VergeIO. “Customers now have a complete automation chain that allows them to build,deploy, and manage infrastructure on VergeOS with clarity and consistency.” Standardizing Infrastructure at Scale Packer support enables customers to create reliable golden images for Linux and Windows and publish them directly into VergeOS. This reduces drift, improves security, and simplifies multi-site or multi-tenant operations. Ansible support provides modules for managing Virtual Data Centers (VDCs), networking, VMs,snapshots, and replication. These modules allow teams to code their desired state and applyupdates consistently across environments. “Customers want infrastructure that behaves the same every time,” said Jason Yaeger, SVP ofEngineering at VergeIO. “The end-to-end automation chain gives them a clear and structured model that fits into their existing pipelines and accelerates how quickly they can deployworkloads.” Accelerating VMware Exit Initiatives Availability Packer and Ansible support is available for preview now and will be included in the upcomingVergeOS release planned for Q1 2026. Customers will receive updated documentation,examples, and reference architectures through the VergeIO Support Portal. Many organizations leaving VMware seek a cleaner, automated path to build new environments without inheriting legacy template issues. The Packer and Ansible integrations give migration teams a controlled, repeatable method to replatform workloads while improving efficiency for future operations. CSPs and service providers also benefit from more consistent onboarding workflows.Standardized templates paired with automated configuration reduce the resource cost ofmanaging large numbers of customers. Learn more in our upcoming webinar on December 17. About VergeIOVergeIO is the VMware alternative designed for organizations seeking a simpler, unifiedinfrastructure platform. VergeOS replaces the traditional hypervisor, storage array, and network stack with a single integrated codebase. CSPs, enterprises, educational institutions, and government agencies rely on VergeOS to reduce cost, extend hardware life, and automateoperations across their environments.

Proxmox After VMware?
Virtualization teams often look at Proxmox after VMware, but its modular mix of KVM, Linux networking, ZFS/Ceph, and separate backup adds long-term operational complexity. As clusters grow, keeping all those subsystems aligned for mobility, availability, and recovery becomes the operator’s burden. VergeOS instead integrates hypervisor,…
