FinOps X Europe has finished and what a success! One of the hot topics discussed during the keynote was the concept of “Scopes”, which was driven by the expanding role of the FinOps team. Expectations of the FinOps team could range anywhere from visibility for more complete unit economics to optimization of licenses to renewal negotiations. And one of the clear questions was, when does it stop? Read on for more on that.

As announced at FinOps X in June, VMware Tanzu CloudHealth has been working on one of the most significant updates to the platform in its history – an enhanced and modernized experience for our users. Since then, we have shared more details about how this new experience is designed with FinOps practitioners in mind and can power FinOps practices through the Inform, Optimize, and Operate phases throughout the FinOps Framework.

In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, businesses are eager to stay ahead of the competition. Many organizations have adopted cloud-native architectures, containers, and Kubernetes to gain a competitive edge and deliver workloads that leverage Generative AI and more. Central to this transformation is a necessity for a strong self-service application platform that meets business needs and fosters innovation.

GenAI apps, also known as Intelligent Apps, are the latest formulation of AI-capable applications. Unlike “Traditional” AI apps that utilize pre-defined processes in a chain to deliver predictive answers, GenAI apps create new and unique interactions with end users. Due to their creative and autonomous nature, integrating generative AI models into apps is like embedding a living brain into a piece of software.

This year at VMware Explore Las Vegas, we're excited to announce VMware Tanzu Platform 10. This new release is tailored for modern enterprises, aiming to transform how organizations manage, secure, and optimize their applications with enhanced flexibility and observability. Tanzu Platform 10 allows you to choose between Cloud Foundry and Kubernetes for your platform runtime, whether in public or private cloud environments.

Broadcom’s VMware Tanzu division has been helping organizations build and deliver modern, cloud native applications and the data services on which they run, for more than a decade. Since the release of the flagship Cloud Foundry based Tanzu Application Service and the massively popular Spring Framework, Tanzu has been at the forefront of modern enterprise app delivery.

As announced in June, the VMware Tanzu CloudHealth team has been hard at work reimaging and engineering a brand new CloudHealth user experience. We unveiled this live for the first time at FinOps X in San Diego, and were so encouraged to see the excitement and positive feedback from this first look.

Broadcom recently announced that Arrow Electronics will now be the sole go-to-market provider of VMware Tanzu CloudHealth. Arrow will provide sales, marketing, and technical support for Tanzu CloudHealth and enhance the user experience through streamlined accessibility, specialized knowledge, and personalized assistance.

VMware Tanzu CloudHealth is a market leading multi-cloud financial management (or FinOps) platform that helps organizations make sense of their cloud data, optimize and control cloud spend, and grow their cloud management practice. More than 22,000 organizations globally rely on our platform to optimize and govern over $24B in annual multi-cloud spend.

As we navigate the complex terrain of cloud-native applications, the landscape is evolving at an astonishing pace. Seven months since Broadcom's acquisition of VMware, the Tanzu division has been observing these changes, aiming to gain an understanding of landscape and opportunities for cloud-native businesses. What we found is that the cloud native landscape and the use cases it supports are nuanced.
