Top challenges delivering Kubernetes on VMware
Talent scarcity
Hiring and retaining in-demand Kubernetes operational expertise is very difficult.
Day-2 Operations are complex
Kubernetes is notoriously difficult to deploy and operate at scale for Production, mission critical workloads.
VMware lacks native support for Kubernetes
VMware was not designed to run containerized workloads.
Lack of cost control and governance
This leads to resource sprawl with associated spiralling costs and compliance violations.
