Comment on Rackspace moving some of its own workloads off VMware

Why would a company have 40,000 VMs?! The scale of computing resources always sounds astronomically different to what I think a service would need.

… You do realize that they still have hundreds of thousands of VMs in their OpenStack services? Those are VMs too.

Hell back in 2008 Slicehost had more than 40k VMs before Rackspace bought em.

Wait till you hear about places like AWS or Azure…

  The article specifically states rackspace are only moving 50 VMs.
  
  The client moving 40,000 is unnamed.
