- Rising cost of public cloud managed Kubernetes
- Air-gapped estate complicated platform deployment
- Developers wanted richer application-level routing
- VKS added at no extra licence cost under VCF 9
- Air-gapped deployment method documented for reuse
- Knowledge transfer left the customer's team self-sufficient
- Customer teams deployed test apps within weeks
成果
