To be more than just Cloud Foundry, but to broaden it to a larger range of use cases. To broaden it to a larger market.” Source: The superpower to change one thing about Kubernetes

🗂 Link: Why would anyone need Cloud Foundry when we have Kubernetes? Um, 'cos K8s is really hard!

Daimler's Thomas Müller, platform architect, spoke this morning at the summit about his company's migration from IBM WebSphere to Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF) and illustrated another point, that the typical enterprise has more to worry about than K8s support.

Take-up was as we had expected – at peak times better than we’d expected – and it’s clear that not all our customers are ready for a totally till-free store. Some customers preferred to pay with cash and card, which sometimes meant they were queuing to use the helpdesk, particularly at peak times of day. This is why we’ve added a manned till and two self-checkouts back into the store so those looking to pay by cash and card can do so quickly and conveniently.
