The whole point behind VMware products was that they offered full control to orgs that want it. That's what made some large orgs choose them over aws or google cloud even when the later are more cost effective. It's fascinating to see VMware (Broadcom?) fumble their only real uvp like this. On the plus side, there is now a nice big clearing for new competitors to pop up. I hope open source uses this chance to catch up and offer something good to compete with nsx-t Datacenter or, at the very least, the SDN component of it. We have decent open source solutions for vms but no real open source solutions for software-defined networking or software-defined data centers. At least not any that I know of. Either way, I think this is very good news overall. VMware was far too strong.
