Containerizing IBM's software and forcing it all on OpenShift is such a weird move to me. When you force your customers to become Kubernetes admins when all they really want is some other solution I think you have a drastically smaller target.

I think a lot of Red Hatters are tired of having the IBM sales force show up in their OpenShift accounts asking about upgrading them to Cloud Paks.

Even worse is the IBM team trying to sell IBM cloud saying cloud-only is the way to go. Customer agrees and compares clouds, settles on AWS or Azure, then IBM team brings in Red Hat to pitch hybrid.
