Right around this time, the VMS side of the house was releasing VAXcluster, which was really quite robust, and ahead of its time. Lots of ideas that are now in systems like Kubernetes have very close parallels to VAXcluster systems: nodes that dynamically join the cluster, load failover to other nodes, shared resources like disk and security policies, asymmetric nodes etc.
