Why Platform Engineers Love VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0
Platform Engineering, Thursday, July 10th, 2025
For as long as I've been in the tech industry-and trust me, that's longer than I care to count-we've heard the same song: 'Build once, run anywhere.' It's a catchy tune, but the reality has always been a little off-key.
Whether it's dealing with differing cloud providers, unique on-prem hardware, or the wild west of the edge, platform engineers have been the unsung heroes trying to duct-tape it all together.
But with the release of VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.0, we might finally be seeing that tune hit its high note. This isn't just another upgrade. This is the beginning of something much bigger-a tangible step toward true infrastructure abstraction, and platform engineers are taking notice.
