I'm in Tanzu. We were told that our WFH status was safe post acquisition.

So I'm under the belief that we will be reorged in some way (speculation!) for streamlining processes.

And no need to bash me for mentioning this. Just an honest post with no other agenda than to say that there is hope.

"Containers are not cloud native. It's a marketing scam. Containers are a way to prevent having to develop applications as cloud native."

Sounds like you are confusing containerising an existing monolith app with building/running cloud native apps. Dump an old app in a container and all you're doing is making distribution easier, whilst creating a bunch of other problem.

You should probably learn some more about cloud native and then re-read the marketing. Container platforms make it easier to run cloud native apps.

"It's a dead product. There is no need for corporations to pay for an expensive solution like Tanzu when better opensource alternatives exist."

  1. Tanzu is not a product or a solution, it's an umbrella brand containing multiple products and solutions. Do your research budy.
  1. Plenty of our large enterprise customers have tried rolling their own OSS platforms and most of them came back when they learnt how hard and labour intensive it is. You could use the same argument to ask why anyone would use vSphere when KVM exists.

The fact that anyone on here is trying to play this off as a negative thing is laughable. This is clearly very, very good news for Tanzu folks going forward. Why say anything about Tanzu if your plan was just to axe it?
