Tesco bought perpetual VMware licenses in 2021, only for Broadcom to drop support for them in January 2026.
Now the UK supermarket giant is hiring a team to migrate its in-store edge platform, which runs checkout, payments, and stock management, to open-source Proxmox. 🚀
Even "perpetual" proprietary licenses only last until the next acquisition.
