    VMware has been dying because of the Broadcom acquisition since last year. They basically looked at all the fortune 500s that used the tech and said “hey guys, our new business plan is to jack up the price 500% because your stack is dependent on us” and ever since there’s been a ton of positions for migration to cloud services and OpenStack.

      Companies shouldn’t be going all in on one piece of software anyways. Mine is going to all Azure, and I can see the pain train coming from miles away when they decide to jack up pricing or tank service. Kind of surprised to see so many companies putting all their eggs into one basket.
