  It solves the "we have recently been acquired and have a lot of resources that we must put to use" problem.

  FWIW... I was pretty taken aback by this statement as well- and also the "brag" that they moved onto K8s in less than a year. At a very well established firm ~30 years old and with the baggage that came with it, we moved to K8s in far less time- though we made zero attempt to move everything to k8s, just stuff that could benefit from it. Our pitch was more or less- move to k8s and when we do the planned datacenter move at the end of the year, you don't have to do anything aside from a checkout. Otherwise you will have to redeploy your apps to new machines or VMs and deal with all the headache around that. Or you could just containerize now if you aren't already and we take care of the rest. Most migrated and were very happy with the results. There was plenty of services that were latency sensitive or in the HPC realm where it made no sense to force a migration though, and there was no attempt to force them to shoehorn in.
