Story
Consumer Staples work at Sainsbury's spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United Kingdom. Model serving was splitting across regional habits. ML and product teams asked for a shared way to run applied AI delivery 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. Sainsbury's uses it as the system of record for model serving, with ML and product teams 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 The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
