You have to make lots of technical, architectural, and organizational choices. Knowing what your peers, analysts, and tech leaders are thinking about can help you make decisions about where and how to invest your time, money, and energy. That’s why we’ve compiled this roundup of ideas from tech decision makers, leaders, and analysts to help you focus.
As a product designer at VMware Tanzu Labs, I’m often having conversations on the value of design in product development. I was discussing design with a client stakeholder one day and made the comment that “Nobody can tell who the designer is on my team.” At first, they were a bit confused by this statement. “Aren’t the designers the ones who create the designs of the product?” they said.
Operators using VMware Tanzu Mission Control can now create and manage image registry secrets. This new feature of Tanzu Mission Control enables people to create image registry secrets in a single namespace and make them available for use by all namespaces in a cluster, providing a single place to manage all registry secrets for that cluster.
Releasing new features seamlessly with no downtime in a rapidly evolving microservices-based application can be challenging. VMware Tanzu Service Mesh makes this process easier, removing much of the complexity involved with rolling out progressive updates to cloud native apps. Here we explain how it works.
VMware Tanzu Application Platform is a modular, application-aware platform that gives developers a prepaved path to production for building and deploying software on any compliant public cloud or on-premises Kubernetes cluster. Designed to deliver a superior and secure developer experience, it makes the software supply chain even more secure with a suite of features, including vulnerability scanning, a software bill of materials, and image signing, and more.
Today, I’m delighted to announce that Application Transformer for VMware Tanzu is now generally available. Application Transformer for Tanzu is a tool that aids in the discovery, analysis, and containerization of legacy applications, thus helping customers to simplify and accelerate their app modernization journeys by targeting their re-platforming strategy on the well-known “5 R” modernization framework.
Modern product management philosophy encourages teams to use user-centered design, lean startup techniques, and agile development practices to build successful products that meet customer needs and respond to changes in technology and the marketplace.
As more customers start to see the benefits of Kubernetes in orchestrating their containerized applications, VMware Tanzu Mission Control continues to evolve with new features that meet operational challenges. With the addition of Terraform provider support, Tanzu Mission Control enables increased DevOps velocity by offering an additional route to consistent deployments and management of Kubernetes.
Software is a business asset, and software-led innovation initiatives yield better business results. Since its inception two years ago, VMware Tanzu continues to focus on helping customers respond quickly to changing market dynamics, recognize new sources of revenue, build brand loyalty, and reduce costs.
On two occasions in December 2021, VMware Tanzu Application Service released remediations within 48 hours of critical CVEs being announced. These remediations were both in response to the Log4j saga, enabling VMware customers to defend against attack vectors quickly after the Day 0 event. This quick response is a reflection of the dedication of the VMware engineering teams working on Tanzu Application Service today.
