Ugh, it's a shame it's such a hype piece (especially the first 5 paragraphs), with no mention of security. While VM escapes are possible, generally it's harder than a container escape. Since plenty of people already run containers on bare metal, I'm really not sure what the post is trying to say or trying to sell, other than taking a dig at VMWare:
> That being said, VMs aren’t currently in danger of being replaced outright by containers; in fact, there are distinct use cases for VMs that containers aren’t well-suited for. However, for VMWare’s business, there is clearly a lot at stake.
After all this, I still don't really understand the value-add of Diamanti. So it's Kubernetes + a GUI? Why would I choose it over doing my own on-prem on one extreme, or using a cloud solution (AWS/GCP/Azure) on the other? (Except maybe to avoid doing Kubernetes upgrades myself :D )
