Return to VMWare, Pivotal or Pivotal Web Services (PWS)

VMware Tanzu is a portfolio of products and services designed to transform the way enterprises build, run, and manage applications on Kubernetes. Introduced by VMware in March 2020, Tanzu embodies VMware's commitment to integrating Kubernetes into its core offerings and facilitating a more modern approach to application development and operations. The suite aims to simplify container management, orchestrate microservices architecture, and accelerate the software development lifecycle, thereby enabling businesses to thrive in a digital-first environment.

The VMware Tanzu portfolio comprises several key components designed to address various aspects of the Cloud Native software development and Cloud Native deployment process. These include Tanzu Mission Control for centralized Kubernetes cluster management, Tanzu Kubernetes Grid for simplified Kubernetes operations, and Tanzu Application Service, a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offering that allows developers to focus on code rather than infrastructure. Additionally, Tanzu Observability provides full-stack visibility for applications and infrastructure, helping teams to monitor and troubleshoot their environments effectively.

VMware Tanzu emphasizes cloud-native development practices, encouraging the use of containers, microservices, and declarative APIs to create scalable and resilient applications. By leveraging Tanzu, organizations can adopt a cloud-native architecture that enhances agility, reduces operational overhead, and enables faster delivery of new features and updates. Tanzu's integration with Kubernetes, the leading container orchestration platform, ensures that applications can be deployed across any cloud environment, supporting a true multi-cloud strategy.

One of the primary goals of VMware Tanzu is to assist enterprises in modernizing their existing applications and infrastructure. This process involves transitioning from traditional monolithic applications to a microservices architecture that is more adaptable to current business needs. Tanzu provides the tools and methodologies necessary for application modernization, including capabilities for containerization, service mesh implementation, and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD), thus facilitating a smoother transition to modern, cloud-native applications.

VMware Tanzu actively contributes to the Kubernetes ecosystem, supporting and extending Kubernetes capabilities to meet enterprise requirements. Through Tanzu, VMware offers an enterprise-ready Kubernetes runtime that simplifies the deployment and management of Kubernetes clusters, regardless of where they are hosted. Tanzu's alignment with the Kubernetes project and its support for open-source standards and tools underscore VMware's commitment to fostering innovation and collaboration within the cloud-native community.

As VMware continues to evolve the Tanzu portfolio, future developments are expected to further enhance Tanzu's ability to meet the dynamic needs of software development teams and IT operations. This includes deeper integration with VMware's existing cloud infrastructure solutions, expanded support for emerging technologies such as serverless computing and artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) workloads, and continued emphasis on security and governance across the software development lifecycle. Through ongoing innovation and strategic partnerships, VMware Tanzu aims to remain at the forefront of enabling enterprise transformation in the cloud-native era.
