If you're my customers? AWS + VMware makes plenty of sense because you have gazillions of dollars sunk into vSphere management and automation that's narrowly tailored to the enterprise's needs. Making the case that all of that prior work should be abandoned or phased out in favor of going all-in on AWS is a difficult up-hill battle in these situations.
>AWS + VmWare is the worst of any world. It's not even a real solution. It's an experimental idea waiting to be released and go though years of bugfix/improvements.
This isn't even a real argument. The same could be said of any new product anywhere.
- user5994461 10y agoThe case is to go AWS or stay where you are. If a company has a HUGE VmWare legacy, we'd both make the case to stay on VmWare. > This isn't even a real argument. The same could be said of any new product anywhere. VmWare and AWS are both hugely complex (possibly among the most complex software on the planet). They have a different philosophy and they were never intended to fit together. The route to doing so will be filled with endless complications. We'll see how they execute. IMO they can't overcome their legacy easily, the result will be a mess.
