I have this impression of vmware that they’re more focused on enterprise sales relationships than tech, a la Salesforce, Oracle, et al. I use Fusion to run VMs on macOS but that’s a toy, I wouldn’t build critical infrastructure on their tools. Just a feeling, but my intuition is based on a lot of experience.

It was interesting building out this rendition of my homelab with ESXi. I’m doing it because my company uses VMware tools but throughout the whole process it felt, like you said, this is about “enterprise relationships” not tech - and it’s really good tech!

Look what happened to the Bitnami Kubernetes Production Runtime. Maintenance stalled for months until eventually they officially stopped development. No warning, and all repo activity indicated the next release was underway. Then it just kinda fizzled out…

  That's because Bitnami is useful for VMware for their image catalog (what this post is about) and not for their forays into k8s land. It took me some serious convincing to keep sealed-secrets from being abandoned too (I'm the former sealed-secrets maintainer). I'm happy to see that my former colleagues are still doing a great job with the images!
