Lol. You can look it up, but this will kill you in two days if untreated. Most Americans go without treatments for more than 48 hours because they dread the potential medical bill.

The problem is you must use Dell hardware. Sure it makes being hypervisor agnostic much easier, but you then become locked into a single hardware vendor that has you by the balls every 3 years when hardware refresh comes along. We've switched between HP and SMC several times when Dell has tried to extort us.

Agent based requires an insane amount of privileged accounts and I would say fails for 10%+ of the VM population

Try doing that to 3,000 production VMs.

Dell private cloud lock in would be the death of any company. You don't want to be isolated to one hardware vendor. We've told Dell to kick rocks many times for renewals and would not be able to do that if we were in their Cloud, which requires Dell hardware.
Don't do it

I'm in the middle of a massive Azure Local migration and noticed the VDDK was no longer available... Kinda funny because I was just telling a coworker how surprised I was that they offered it. Thankfully I saved off my copy but I have no idea how Microsoft is going to handle this going forward with Azure Migrate. Same issue with SUSE I believe

Nonsense. Renting servers is the easiest way to bankrupt your company. Look at all the capacity shortages going on right now. Price will continue to outpace bare metal and controls will get tighter.
Not to mention there are many scenarios where cloud connectivity is not an option.
