No es un libro sobre productos. Tampoco es un manual técnico.Es una historia sobre cómo la infraestructura llegó hasta acá.Sobre decisiones inevitables, modelos que dejaron de escalar y plataformas que surgieron cuando la complejidad ya no podía sostenerse. Sobre virtualización, cloud, negocio y personas. Sobre aciertos, errores y aprendizajes que marcaron una era.Este primer volumen no intenta explicar VMware Cloud Foundation. Intenta explicar por qué era inevitable que existiera.Porque antes de discutir arquitectura, conviene entender el camino.
