@JaredBusch Any issues that you know of with the latest available firmware update with the Edgemax series?
Nope, I have almost all devices (~40) on the current firmware.
Nice, Thanks.
@JaredBusch Any issues that you know of with the latest available firmware update with the Edgemax series?
@jaredbusch Oh good grief. In my day of misery, I neglected to properly navigate a website.
Thanks Jared.
Did Ubiquiti kill off their EdgeMax line? Searching their site, I can't seem to find it. Looking on their help site, I can find the EdgeMax series, but it makes me believe that they maybe abandoned this line. Can anyone else shed light on this?
Fedora seems like a logical choice. Fedora it is!
@jaredbusch It's an Ansible server.
So I have 1 server that needs migrated from CentOS8. What is the current state/opinion here about migration? Ubuntu is a clear choice, and most likely the path I will take, but wanted to get some other opinions as well. Is anyone using CentOS stream in a production scenario?
In case anyone else runs across this same issue, I got this resolved with a simple command:
dracut --regenerate-all -f && grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
After doing this, everything booted up properly.
I then installed hyperv-daemons, rebooted, and everything works great.
After I posted this, I ran the same command again, and it appeared to complete successfully. Then I rebooted and got the same exact error message.
Warning /dev/s7_freepbx/root does not exist
Warning /dev/s7_freepbx/swap does not exist
SUPER old post, I know, but I am running into this issue as well.
I am migrating one VM (CentOS 7, FreePBX) from a KVM VM to a Hyper-V server. I used the conversion tool "qemu-img" which worked great for another Windows workload I converted.
I did not run the command as you noted in the post before the conversion. so now I am stuck with a boot error:
Warning /dev/s7_freepbx/root does not exist
Warning /dev/s7_freepbx/swap does not exist
I booted into rescue mode with a recovery DVD/Image. I pressed 1 to continue. It told me "Your system has been mounted under /mnt/sysimage. I pressed return to drop into a shell.
I tried the command below.
mkinitrd -f -v --with=hid-hyperv --with=hv_utils --with=hv_vmbus --with=hv_storvsc --with=hv_netvsc /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
I got the error:
dracut: Cannot find /usr/lib/dracut/dracut-init.sh
So I typed "chroot /mnt/sysimage" and tried the command again.
and got the error below

Looks like they will also offer dedicated servers with ESXi on them.
Ah, pre-built with log4j access enabled then?
Yes, it's included for free! 
No extra cost to you.
Dang.... is it me or is Vultr just killing it lately.

@scottalanmiller I've used BB for testing and it was fine. I'll give a Wasabi a fair comparison, but will probably go with BB.
Thanks for the input gents.
Who has experience with both of these? Which one is better and why? Who has the better API?
Thanks!
@travisdh1 I can't upvote this enough. We tried it for about a hot minute and immediately ditched it.
I have been tasked with doing a POC for using Azure for VDI. I am exploring multiple options, including other cloud providers and good ol' COLO. However, I am testing each option.
I have been using Zerotier for quite some time now and I love it. I use it everywhere. I recently created a new VM in Azure (the first one) and installed Zerotier on it. From that VM in Azure, I can ping out to my other Zerotier endpoints AND connect to those same endpoints via RDP.
From my local PC (zerotier endpoint), I can also ping the Azure VM via Zerotier. However, I cannot RDP to the Azure VM. I am thinking it must be some sort of routing or firewall issue, but have been banging my head against my desk for the better part of the day.
Does anyone have experience doing this with an Azure VM?

I have a user who just needs to RDP
This conflicts with....

I didn't provide all of the details, because it didn't matter for a recommendation. However, the user does in fact need Windows on both the laptop
...this.
The recommendations are based on the original bit. RDP alone has essentially no requirements at all. But if they need to do other things, then that would be the driver of requirements, RDP is a red herring.
That's fair, it does conflict because I said "just needs RDP".
I pulled the trigger on a cheapo Dell Refurb. Will do great for this specific scenario. Thanks gentlemen!

@scottalanmiller Yeah, It is interesting to see how organizations are going back to the thin client model where it makes sense.
No one ever left it, really.
Thin clients cost is so high, it's barely worth it unless the security side it that important.
Custom built thin clients are crazy expensive. But using regular computers as thin clients is super cheap.
You can use anything for this. But Raspberry Pis have become very popular for it.
I couldn't imagine someone asking for a simple Windows laptop they are used to using to connect to their Windows computer, but then getting a some kind of Raspberry Pi concoction instead.
I can't imagine letting a staffer who is only using RDP get any say whatsoever in an operating system they won't interact with.
I didn't provide all of the details, because it didn't matter for a recommendation. However, the user does in fact need Windows on both the laptop and the desktop for various reasons. (software used both on the laptop and on the desktop.)
Those acers and the refub dell units are crazy cheap! I've used refurb Dells in the last directly from Dell Outlet and they have been great.
That site has some great options. I have used DellOutlet.com before, but the one you sent has a ton of great options to look at. Have you used this site before?
