Eh, it's still the least hassle at scale for your own data centers and VCF 9 isn't exactly low tech - it does things no one else really can do to the same level of quality (DRS, HCX, NSX, VSAN all come to mind) , the question is, is it worth the money? Unless you're over 10,000 VMs, probably not.

OpenShift is okay but has quirks unless you have a major Kubernetes staff; Proxmox is good for most but I wouldn't use at massive scale. Azure Stack/ Hyper-V can work but has its own quirks.

Supermarkets probably should use boring tech. They aren't tech companies.

I agree about boring tech. They're not a tech company but they're not low or anti tech though

Tesco worked closely with a data startup to create the Clubcard and that startup is now a big company owned by Tesco (Dunnhumby, £350m, 2,000 employees)

They were the first supermarket to do online grocery delivery

They had Nokia apps for groceries on 2009, iPhone in 2010

Huge supply chain automation

Tesco Labs etc

Compared to something like proxmox? Sure.

It takes a long time to change corporate mindset.

Compared to something like openstack.

Other than proxmox, what alternative do you have for "high tech"?
