Run ESXi cluster in KVM clouster

Hello,

i just think about idea to run ESX hosts in KVM hipervisors, as a VM.
I like libvirt & qemu facilities like balanc-alb, many storage backend support, ksm & etc.
Its allow us, to show one socket with many cores instead of several sockets to ESX.

It's allow to use Libvirt power with VMware vSphere Software frontend.

I know what it's a not standart usecase of ESXi.

May be someone already try this stack and can share experiences?

Pitfalls? Unexpected behaviour?

What community think about it?

or its a crazy idea, why?

It's a bit painful.  See Re: ESXi inside KVM.
