VMware Tanzu Platform was launched last month, providing customers with the choice and flexibility they desire in a single cloud-native application platform. Developers now have access to easy golden commands and powerful abstractions for building, binding, deploying, and scaling applications on either Cloud Foundry or Kubernetes. This allows for a consistent developer experience regardless of runtime requirements. The platform aims to simplify app development, reduce learning time, and eliminate the need for specialized skills.
The Tanzu Platform is optimized for VMware Cloud Foundation and leverages the power of the Spring development framework. It allows for efficient lifecycle management across public and private clouds, supporting VM-based app containers with Cloud Foundry or any compliant Kubernetes. The platform is multi-cloud and multilingual, ensuring flexibility for customers. The launch of the Tanzu Platform also marks the beginning of an exciting new era for Cloud Foundry users, as all functionality and features of the Tanzu Application Service are now part of a runtime called Tanzu Platform for Cloud Foundry.
Customers running applications on the Tanzu Platform for Cloud Foundry benefit from new innovations and integrations, such as unified app-to-platform visibility, performance monitoring, and faster management. The platform brings significant benefits for platform teams, including reduced infrastructure footprint, simplified compliance, and governance with FIPS-compliant stem cells. Developers building next-generation apps can leverage trained LLMs through AI-powered insights.
The Tanzu Platform offers additional features and enhancements for all users, including data services with fleet management, access to an application catalog, visibility from application to infrastructure, and DevSecOps tools with Tanzu Salt. High performance and automatic compatibility for Spring are also highlighted, providing developers with optimized access to app health scores and automatic enforcement of enterprise policies.
Overall, the launch of the Tanzu Platform extends VMware‘s commitment to customer-centric innovation, empowering organizations to develop, operate, and optimize across the entire application lifecycle. The platform aims to make IT teams the heroes of their application teams by providing a seamless and efficient developer experience. Further details on additional features for the Tanzu Platform are expected to be announced in the summer of 2024.
