Containers Are Poised To Quash VMware In 2019

Enterprise application development has reached a tipping point. I predict in 2019 new enterprise application development will rapidly shift away from legacy virtual machines (VMs) and strongly toward containers and Kubernetes container orchestration. VMware’s hypervisor-based business model is now under direct assault by the cloud industry.Every public cloud service provider (CSP) has its own proprietary services. But the future is multi-cloud, which means creating common services between private clouds and proprietary public clouds. In the long-term, the ability to create applications that can run on any cloud, private and public, means adopting a standard container architecture, implementing a standard set of container accessible services and using Kubernetes orchestration.
