Stop the Containering, Mate!
"And when it comes to independent software vendor (ISV) workloads, many are already validated to run on Docker or in Kubernetes clusters."
Phfffff, I'm still waiting for that list. There might be like 5 message buses or service status engines built on open source that major vendors have ported to containers. But 90% of large enterprise workloads are still an ISO-delivered WS or RHEL VM. And don't get me started on the long tail of dead-developer weirdware out there, esp. the ones that snooty doctors and clinicians "have to have".
If the deal goes on and Broadcom leaves only 1500 customers on support, everyone else that's "enterprise" will run out their support while finding a SaaS replacement or moving the VM to Azure. For those involved this will be a bigger boom than it will be for Broadcom.
