Kit Colbert, VMware: Integrating Containers and Infrastructure

Episode Summary

Containers present an opportunity for businesses to move faster and provide greater value to their customers, depending heavily on how integrated the rest of their tooling is with these technologies. In this podcast, Kit Colbert, vice president and general manager of Cloud-Native Apps at VMware, discusses the influence of IT operations on the adoption of container technologies.

At the start of his career, he was the technical lead behind the creation, development and delivery of the vMotion and Storage vMotion features in vSphere.
