Project Pacific Technical Overview: Unifying vSphere and Kubernetes

3Confidential │ ©2019 VMware, Inc.

IDC Futurescape, 2018

“Over the next five years, enterprises will build 500 million apps using cloud native tools and methods –equal to the total number of apps build over the last 40 years.”

Worldwide Container Instances – Virtualized/non-virtualized


The Definition of an Application Has ChangedModern enterprises are building applications that are heterogeneous in nature

An application used to consist of a few VMs

Modern apps are like distributed systems

Challenges for Modern Applications

Developer● Lack of modern developer

services within organization

● Access to the modern coding tools and backend databases is slow

● Deployment, day 2 operations and lifecycle management is painful

IT Operator● Infrastructure silos exist as

provisioning resources for developers is a nightmare

● Security isolation of modern apps and sensitive databases is difficult

● Inconsistent operations and cross-functional workflows remains a concern
