VMware Tanzu overview

What is VMware Tanzu?

VMware Tanzu is a software development and container management platform that helps businesses build applications, automate the delivery of containerized workloads, run on any cloud, VM or Kubernetes distribution, and monitor apps in production.

VMware Tanzu enables software developers and platform engineers to optimize existing apps and develop cloud-native apps simultaneously. It allows IT operations teams to secure the container lifecycle and manage the policy, networking, and performance of containers. The IT staff can also implement network connectivity and enhance security through traffic encryption.

Developers can access a curated catalog of open-source production-ready containers and deploy them across various environments. IT Administrators can also validate cluster compliance, track the performance of workloads, and manage service mesh lifecycle along with clusters.
