A lot of trial and error on rolling it out, wasted over a year to get some basic clusters
Reviewed on 2023/09/08
Pros
Not much at the moment, still waiting to get some value out of it
Cons
It breaks all the time, stability is alpha at max, would never recommend it in this stage. There is no balance between new features added (really high) and stability (non-existent).

Very happy with TAS overall from Platform and Developer perspective. Having challenges in adopting TAP and TKGI overall due to the additional complexity involved from app development all the way to release and day-2 operations
Pros
Feature rich, Developer First mindset, Ease of deployment and releases, Long Term Support versions for more conservative and quarterly releases for more aggressive. Baked in Security.
Cons
Pricing Model for different products varies drastically. Certificate management not very easy. Compatibility with other VMware products like ESX, NSX in addition to some of the Cloud offerings.
