IBM Buys HashiCorp To Control The Alternative To Red Hat Kubernetes
(www.nextplatform.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Hashicorp's Nomad is a k8s competitor. It has pretty nice tooling that is simplier than k8s, and directly supportes vms, containers, war files, etc.
It's pretty common for companies to buy up their competitors, so IBM already owning openshift/etc and still making the purchase makes sense.
Capitalism "competition drives innovation" at its finest
