As someone who has moved the opposite way, heavily using Incus and now checking out Proxmox, what made you go for IncusOS?

My gut feeling is that enterprise sentiment is leaning heavily towards Proxmox, fuelled by a VMware exodus that will only gain speed, and I don't see Incus really meeting the requirements most people have that previously used VMware, but of course Incus is awesome and you can't always pick technologies by what will be "employable" :-)

What solution do you use for declarative deployments? Last time I looked there was no default option?

I haven't migrated to IncusOS just yet, but I use Incus on a server and have been pretty happy so far.
