    Please forgive a wildly uninformed question: What is it that VMware does today that isn’t covered by Docker?

      Storage, software defined networking, performance metrics, VDIs, endpoint security, virtualization on the desktop.

      Not to mention, a lot of workloads aren’t suited to containers. The vast majority of business software isn’t containerized, and it would be wildly cost-prohibitive for me to shoehorn that square peg into the round hole of virtualization.
