VMware is changing. Costs are rising and teams are being pushed to rethink their infrastructure. Kubernetes is becoming the new control plane for running both applications and virtual machines. This is not a reset. If you manage vSphere today, you already understand the core concepts. Compute, storage, networking, and high availability all carry forward.
This guide shows you how to map what you know to Kubernetes and how to start the transition without disrupting production.
