Guess you're fucking it up big time somehow then. Why would you tell people this? "Hey, we managed to make ourselves permanently dependent on some bullshit tech, please partner vendors, fuck as much as you possibly can so we can pass it off to shoppers."
It takes a long time to change corporate mindset.
OpenShift is okay but has quirks unless you have a major Kubernetes staff; Proxmox is good for most but I wouldn't use at massive scale. Azure Stack/ Hyper-V can work but has its own quirks.
What I don't understand is what prevents them to shop around for alternatives. What is VMWare's very good moat that prevents the competition from invading their castle?
