But many enterprises still rely on virtual machines for existing workloads.Broadcom’s strategy is to make it simpler for enterprises to handle both kinds of workloads using a single management framework.The business will also co-chair the newly formed Kubernetes Workload Conformance Working Group, aiming to ensure uniformity across Kubernetes workloads.The move might help bolster Broadcom’s enterprise infrastructure strategy, enabling clients manage traditional virtualization with cloud-native apps.Acceptance into the CNCF Sandbox gives a structure for building a community, but it doesn’t ensure broad acceptance or economic success.Broadcom did not reveal the financial terms or revenue forecasts for the venture.The next trigger is development on the VM API project and the extent to which other corporate technology vendors embrace the suggested management methodology.
