VMware Tanzu Kubernetes

Tanzu Kubernetes has several features to help you manage Kubernetes at scale:

1. Kubernetes Cluster Management: Tanzu Kubernetes simplifies cluster deployment and management. It provides tools for provisioning, scaling and securing clusters so the entire environment is optimized for performance and security.
2. Multi-Cloud and Hybrid: Tanzu Kubernetes is multi-cloud and hybrid. You can deploy applications in public clouds (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) or private clouds. It also supports hybrid cloud architectures so you can manage on-prem and cloud based clusters seamlessly.
3. Single Pane of Glass: Tanzu Kubernetes has a single dashboard where developers and operations teams can monitor and manage Kubernetes environments. It integrates with popular Kubernetes management tools and allows you to view cluster health, resources and troubleshoot issues.
4. Security and Compliance: With features like role based access control (RBAC), network segmentation and secure supply chains Tanzu Kubernetes helps you meet compliance standards while keeping your containerized applications secure.

VMware Tanzu Application Service

VMware Tanzu Application Service (formerly Pivotal Cloud Foundry) is a cloud native application platform where developers can build, deploy and run applications at scale. Tanzu Application Service abstracts away the infrastructure management so developers can focus on writing code not provisioning or maintaining servers.

Tanzu Application Service has all the capabilities you need for modern application development:

1. Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS): Tanzu Application Service is a PaaS. It provides a full environment for building and deploying applications without managing the underlying hardware or virtual machines. Includes support for containers, microservices and multiple programming languages.
2. CI/CD: Tanzu Application Service supports CI/CD pipelines so you can build, test and deploy code. This helps development teams accelerate their release cycles and collaboration between dev and ops teams.
3. Auto-Scaling: Tanzu Application Service auto-scales applications based on real time traffic and resource usage. So applications are always running at optimal performance without over provisioning resources.
4. App Security and Compliance: The platform has robust security features like encryption, secure access controls and automated compliance checks. So applications are protected from vulnerabilities and meet industry standards for security.
5. DevOps and Collaboration: Tanzu Application Service promotes DevOps by providing a single platform that integrates with popular DevOps tools like Jenkins, GitHub and GitLab. So dev and ops teams can collaborate more efficiently and get to market faster.

VMware Tanzu

DevOps is a set of practices that focuses on collaboration between development and IT operations to automate and streamline software delivery. VMware Tanzu DevOps is a set of tools and practices to help you adopt and scale DevOps in cloud native environments.

Key features of VMware Tanzu DevOps:

1. Automation: Tanzu DevOps automates the entire software development lifecycle from code to deployment. This includes automating infrastructure provisioning, application deployment and environment configuration.
2. Collaboration: Tanzu DevOps brings together development, operations and security teams. It provides tools for monitoring, troubleshooting and resolving issues in real time so all stakeholders have visibility into the development process.
3. CI/CD Pipeline Integration: Tanzu DevOps integrates with various CI/CD tools so teams can automate testing and deployment. Reduces errors, improves code quality and accelerates release cycles.
4. Monitoring and Observability: Tanzu DevOps has monitoring and observability tools to give deep insights into application performance, resource usage and infrastructure health. So you can proactively address issues before they impact customers.
5. Security and Compliance: As with other Tanzu tools, Tanzu DevOps has security built into the development process. It has tools to secure the application code, infrastructure and runtime environment to meet industry regulations and best practices.

VMware Tanzu Mission Control

Key features of Tanzu Mission Control:

1. Multi-Cluster Management: Tanzu Mission Control lets you manage thousands of Kubernetes clusters across multiple clouds from a single pane of glass. So managing large scale Kubernetes environments is simplified and clusters are consistently configured and compliant to your organization’s policies.
2. Policy-Driven Management: Tanzu Mission Control allows admins to define policies for cluster security, resource allocation and access control. These policies can be applied to all clusters so everything is uniform and compliant.
3. Cluster Health Monitoring: Tanzu Mission Control monitors Kubernetes clusters in real time so teams can see cluster health, performance and resource usage. Also provides proactive alerts and notifications when issues occur.
4. Governance and Security: With Tanzu Mission Control you can enforce security policies, control access to clusters and implement role based access control (RBAC) so only authorized users can access sensitive resources.

VMware Tanzu Cloud-Native Apps

Key features:

1. Microservices Architecture: Tanzu Cloud-Native Apps encourages microservices so you can break down monolithic apps into smaller independent components. Each microservice can be developed, deployed and scaled independently for more flexibility and speed of delivery.
2. Service Mesh Integration: Tanzu Cloud-Native Apps integrates with service mesh technologies like Istio to provide secure, reliable and observable communication between microservices. So managing inter-service communication is simplified and security is enhanced with encryption, traffic management and monitoring.
3. Developer Tools: Tanzu Cloud-Native Apps has a set of developer tools to build and deploy cloud-native apps. These include integrated CI/CD pipelines, app frameworks and libraries for rapid development and deployment.
4. Cloud-Native Infrastructure: The platform has cloud-native infrastructure designed for containerized apps. Supports Kubernetes deployment and is optimized for high scale and high availability.
