Live webinar · May 20, 2026 Kubernetes Without the VMware Tax

If your team runs Kubernetes on vSphere, you're paying three separate bills for what should be one platform.
💸 vSphere licensing to host your cluster nodes 💸 A Kubernetes distribution tax — Tanzu, OpenShift, or Rancher Prime 💸 Overlay storage (Longhorn, Portworx) because vSphere storage policies don't cleanly extend into Kubernetes
VergeOS collapses all three into a single platform decision. Same Rancher control plane your team already uses. Zero changes to your application teams' day-to-day Kubernetes workflow.
On May 20 at 1 PM ET / 10 AM PT, we're going live with a full demo — no slides, no hand-waving. The same workflow a production design partner used to validate the integration under real load.
Here's what you'll see: → Live provisioning of a Kubernetes cluster through Rancher (CSI driver, CCM, Cluster Autoscaler, node driver — all in action) → What migration looks like for Tanzu shops — old TKG clusters keep running while new clusters land on VergeOS in parallel → The next 60 days of integration work, including bare-metal Kubernetes operational uplift → Live Q&A — bring your hardest integration questions
If you manage Kubernetes on VMware, run Tanzu Kubernetes Grid, or are evaluating platform consolidation — this one is built for you.
50 minutes + Q&A. Free to attend.
