Summary

The situation with Broadcom's acquisition of VMware is causing concern among customers, who are facing potential price increases, reduced product development and support, as well as a lack of clear migration strategies for their Tanzu Application Platform (TAP) and Tanzu Kubernetes Grid (TKG). Humanitec, in partnership with Thoughtworks and Bechtle, is offering a solution to help customers break free from the lock-in effect and transition to a modular Internal Developer Platform that combines superior user experience, high productivity, and low lock-in. The company's technical approach involves introducing an abstraction layer, isolating the virtualization layer, and using a Platform Orchestrator to generate dynamic configurations per deployment, allowing customers to swap underlying virtualization layers easily and run on different cloud providers for development and staging environments. Humanitec is collaborating with Thoughtworks and Bechtle to provide a scalable and cost-effective response to this dilemma, offering free 60-minute exploratory sessions with platform architects to discuss customer's situation and explore the rescue mission options.
