When Broadcom hit we were already mid-journey on OpenShift. Accelerated everything and came out the other side cleaner than we went in.

15,000+ VMs migrated at a Fortune 500 financial institution. PCI and SOX compliant throughout. But the part nobody talks about — we didn't just lift and shift. We used the migration as the forcing function to actually refactor apps that had been sitting on VMs for 10 years.

That's where the real savings are. Anyone can move a VM. The teams that win are the ones that come out the other side with containerized workloads, proper CI/CD pipelines, and half the infrastructure footprint.

Happy to talk through the migration approach. Anyone else using the VMware exodus as the forcing function to modernize properly?

Migrated 15,000+ VMs off VMware at a Fortune 500 company. Took 23 months. Landed on a mix of OpenShift and Hyper-V.

Seeing a lot of posts about people trying to figure out their exit strategy with the Broadcom pricing situation. Happy to answer questions or talk through anyone's specific situation in the comments — no agenda, just been through it and know how painful it is.
