VMware acquires Heptio.

2 out of the 3 founders of Kubernetes are now gonna be working for PKS (pivotal container services). This is interesting stuff. With pcf doing well already, time for Pivotal to dominate in a different layer of abstraction. https://www.google.com/amp/s/techcrunch.com/2018/11/06/vmware-acquires-heptio-the-startup-founded-by-2-co-founders-of-kubernetes/amp/

Pivotal yom OP Nov 7, 2018

Not sure how this acquisition helps pivotal!?

Pivotal yom OP Nov 7, 2018

hepito will be helping with Pks which is pivotal’s kubernetes offering and a joint venture w/ vmware.... already having a strong presence in the PaaS layer with PCF, strengthening our PKS offering will make us a stroger player in the IaaS+ space as well All our customers using PKS would be benefited from this

Microsoft UMbR31 Nov 7, 2018

Didn't know the joint venture on Pcf. Interesting turn of events.

You’re making a lot of assumptions, most of them are wrong.
