Tanzu Talk: Two Tools to Modernize Legacy Apps - the VMware App Transformer & App Navigator

Most large organizations have 100’s, if not 1,000’s of apps that need to be modernized. 76% of executives said they are too invested in legacy applications to change. Join me for a little study on tools to help in #TanzuTalk. (Apologies for the robot voice towards the end - the cables must have been jiggled too much.) In today’s episode, Coté learns about and summarizes the VMware App Transformer. Then , he watches and comments on a recent talk by Martin Clarkson on the the VMware App Navigator service.

Application Transformer for VMware Tanzu Is Now in Tech Preview

Enterprises worldwide are embracing innovations such as the cloud to solve their digital needs, but many face challenges with workload migration and application modernization. One way organizations can ease their application modernization journeys is to adopt the 5 R’s framework—rehost, replatform, refactor, retain, and retire—allowing them to choose the right migration strategy for their specific environment.

Enhance Developer Experience, Productivity with Tanzu Application Platform for Application Deployment

At VMware’s annual SpringOne developer conference in September, we announced the first customer beta of VMware ​Tanzu​ Application Platform. Tanzu Application Platform delivers a pre-paved path to production and a streamlined, end-to-end developer experience on any compliant public cloud or on-premises Kubernetes cluster.

VMware Tanzu Advanced Quarterly Update: Driving DevOps Metrics that Matter

It is imperative for DevOps success that operations teams provide a good developer experience and that developers have what they need for productive workflows. When this is done automatically and seamlessly, teams can get code to production faster. However, it’s not enough to get code committed quickly. That code must also be compliant and secure. Developers should not find out at the last minute that they used a noncompliant package leading to hours of re-work.

Overview: See the VMware Tanzu Application Platform DevSecOps Experience

This video demonstrates how you can use the VMware Tanzu Application Platform to help accelerate your organization's DevSecOps culture. We demonstrate how Tanzu Application Platform can use an outer loop supply chain to automatically take your application from source code to URL using a supply chain that includes continuous integration testing, source code and image scanning, container build, and, finally, deployment.

Recognizing and Removing Friction Points in the Developer Experience on Kubernetes

Kubernetes is a game-changing technological advancement, enabling infrastructure and operations teams to automate application deployment and management at scale. But it has also presented new challenges to developers. As organizations adopt cloud native application paradigms, they face a developer experience crisis due to the complexity of the cloud native ecosystem and a steep learning curve for developing applications for Kubernetes.

How Tanzu Application Platform Improves the Inner Loop for Developers

VMware Tanzu Application Platform provides a set of developer tools that allows developers to debug a running container on any Kubernetes cluster, whether running locally or as a managed Kubernetes cluster on the cloud, from the IDE itself. The tooling also shortens the path for live updates of code changes by eliminating the steps of rebuilding, republishing, and deploying the container, instead directly injecting the updated code to the running container.
