Over the past years, we expanded our focus to help enterprises use Bitnami in production, often as part of a migration of their application to the cloud or their adoption of Kubernetes. Over time, we expanded to VMs, cloud images, and containers while maintaining our focus on keeping applications easy to use, secure, and up to date. After a few clicks, users could get a complete web application such as WordPress up and running in their laptop without having to manually install and configure Apache, MySQL, PHP, and supporting libraries. We started with native installers that ran on Windows, Linux, and macOS. Our focus is to make that software accessible to the largest number of users and developers possible. There is a lot of great software out there, much of it open source, that is out of reach of many developers and system administrators because it is too complex to set up and maintain. Our mission at Bitnami is to make awesome software available to everyone, everywhere. Why join forces with VMware? This was actually an easy decision and has to do with our shared vision for the future. We have a great team, great products, and a great business. We primarily bootstrapped the business, having raised just $1.1M from YCombinator and a handful of great angels, when we were already profitable. We built Bitnami from zero to a significant user base, with all of the major cloud vendors as customers. Joining forces with VMware means that we will be able to both double-down on the breadth and depth of our current offering and bring Bitnami to even more clouds as well as accelerating our push into the enterprise. We will continue to deliver the Bitnami catalog of apps that you know and love, across all the platforms we currently support, including all the major cloud vendors. This is fantastic news for our users and partners. We are proud and excited to announce that VMware is acquiring Bitnami!
