Story
Consumer Staples work at Heineken spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the Netherlands. Backup and failover was splitting across regional habits. SRE and operations asked for a shared way to run reliability engineering without freezing local judgment.
VMware (Tanzu) is what they standardized on. VMware, part of Broadcom, provides virtualization, private cloud, and container software used to run enterprise data centers. Heineken uses it as the system of record for backup and failover, with SRE and operations as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
