To add a concrete example to this, I worked at a bank during a migration from a VMware operated private cloud (own data center) to OpenStack. In several years, the OpenStack cloud got designed, operationalised, tested and ready for production. In the following years some workloads moved to OpenStack. Most didn't. 6 years after the beginning of the whole hullabaloo the bank cancelled the migration program and decided they'll keep the VMware infrastructure intact and upgrade it. They began phasing out OpenStack. If you're in North America, you know this bank. Broadcom can probably extract 1000% price increase and still run that DC in a decade.
Sounds like a pretty standard project, we did the same, but hyperv instead of openstack. Just finishing cleanup...
Currently doing the same thing.again, just with openstack :) hope it won't have the same outcome
Doing a couple of Harvester migrations atm and I can confirm that a lot of organizations invested heavily into VMWare's tech.
