Can someone explain what VMWare does so well that allows them to do this for someone totally uninformed? No where I've worked at has used VMWare, but everywhere I've worked used containers or VM's of some sort.
Even in the early 2015's kubernetes was mature enough to run production workloads. Any issues that did come up were with our own application code, never the orchestrator.
I never found myself thinking that it would be nice to have a close sourced expensive option to reach for.
What area does VMWare excel so much to justify this pricing power?
