So, for each top golf location we have something like 120 VMs? That sounds suspiciously like exactly one per bay.
After a point it must be cheaper to bring in a AAA engineer and do this with 10-50x fewer machines. Poking VMs with the management stick doesn't fundamentally solve this IT scaling problem.

Always enjoy reading a post-Broadcom migration story, congrats to Topgolf for making the move.
Unfortunately it’s a drop in the bucket compared to how much they’re losing on the actual business.
