This a good, correct framing of the AI project failure stuff. No one really knows what will work and what they’re doing yet. As we learned in the digital transformation craze of the 2010’s, this means failure == learning. And learning is what you need to do a lot of.

More so, this kind of rapid learning, innovation, and sense making is exactly what a platform like Tanzu Platform with Cloud Foundry is excels at, and has a long, proven history of supporting.

You focus on learning new business models, features for your apps, and what works by writing and deploying code instead of building containers and configuring infrastructure.

And, as I like to say, if your organization writes a lot of their own code, there’s a good chance you already have the Tanzu Platform in place, ready to use. Just ask around.
