5 Aspects of your Container Strategy
summary
Argues Kubernetes is the practical future of containers and that VMware Tanzu (Heptio + Pivotal + Bitnami) packages build run and manage tools; containers start in seconds vs VMs in minutes, enable autoscaling and Kubernetes self-healing, and push teams to GitOps and declarative manifests so configuration drift drops. Notes VMs still beat containers on isolation and security. Recommends start small and iterate, seed a platform team (reverse Conway), track the four metrics from Accelerate, consider multi-cloud from day one and prefer buying a curated platform over DIY.
