VMware’s Kubernetes platform just got a lot more flexible. With VKS 3.6, teams can now bring their own CNI — Cilium, Calico Enterprise, or any CNCF-conformant option — instead of being locked into a default stack.
At KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2026 in Amsterdam, Himanshu Singh (Broadcom) sits down with Techstrong TV’s Mike Vizard to discuss why Broadcom is deliberately not building a proprietary ecosystem, how VMware Cloud Foundation unifies VMs and containers under one governance model, and why private AI services are now a core part of the platform.
They also dig into the convergence of IT admin and platform engineer roles — the same person is wearing both hats, and VCF is designed to help them upskill from VI admin to cloud and Kubernetes admin without starting from scratch.
