Would anyone care to give a brief summary? It's the first I've heard of this.
- tyingq 7y agoI believe it's just saying that Google was disappointed that their MapReduce research didn't give them any market presence or power. Hadoop took the concepts and ran with it, with no direct benefit to Google. Pivotal benefited a lot with their commerical distro of Hadoop. Google didn't make the same mistake with K8S and it killed Pivotal's PCF.
- jacques_chester 7y agoHadoop looked to be a big part of Pivotal's overall strategy early on but didn't pan out. Labs and Cloud Foundry have contributed the lion's share of revenue for most of Pivotal's life, though data products like Greenplum, Gemfire and RabbitMQ have also contributed a lot. Kubernetes was never really about Pivotal in any universe I can think of. It was about AWS. Disclosure: I work at Pivotal.
