Broadcom announced the VM API project was accepted into the Cloud Native Computing Foundation Sandbox. VM API lets virtual machines be provisioned and managed through Kubernetes APIs across different infrastructure providers. Broadcom is also co-chairing a Kubernetes workload standards group, and more than 20 new VMware VKS partner solutions have been validated.

What happened

Broadcom said its VM API project has entered the Cloud Native Computing Foundation’s Sandbox, an early-stage home for projects. The project is intended to let companies manage virtual machines and containers through Kubernetes. Broadcom will also co-chair a new Kubernetes workload standards group.

Global impact / market context

This could make it easier for companies to manage different kinds of computing workloads through one system. The reports give no financial terms or evidence of an immediate effect on Broadcom’s business or investors.

What to watch

  1. Check what the Sandbox project develops next; this would show whether the early project moves forward.
  2. Check whether the new working group produces shared workload standards; these could help companies use the system across different providers.
  3. Check whether the reported partner validations lead to more usable VMware vSphere Kubernetes Service options; the reports say more than 20 solutions were validated but give no further results.
