VMWare is used in the cloud as an alternative option from docker container.

VMWare is also diving into K8S space, I'm sure they have some sort of "managed" service offering that bundles their K8S solution.

VMWare owns Spring Framework... that's a cloud toolkit.

Vmware bought heptio and with that things like their managed control plane (a la Google’s Anthos) and other k8s stuff. I think most of those folks are gone now though

The headline folks from Heptio are gone but the products and staff are still there. They’ve gotten a lot of internal transfers from other parts of VMware.

Thanks for pointing out the Spring connection... I wonder how that will impact their development.

If it's true that they'll lay off Oliver Drotbohm and Dan Vega then "seriously bad" could describe the impact.
