Fresh off the exciting announcement of Azure Spring Cloud’s general availability at SpringOne, today we are happy to announce the public preview of Steeltoe .NET support. Azure Spring Cloud is a fully managed service for Spring Boot—and now Steeltoe .NET—apps. As a native Azure service, it is operated by Microsoft. But VMware has partnered closely with Microsoft in the development of the service and fully supports Microsoft in its operation of Azure Spring Cloud.

Whether you’re years deep into the Kubernetes experience or just dipping your toes into the water, there’s no such thing as too much perspective. After all, Kubernetes is poised to become a foundational element of enterprise infrastructure, and it’s evolving fast. Mistakes made today could lead to some gnarly fixes down the road.

We are excited to announce the general availability of security policies and policy insights in Tanzu Mission Control. With the launch of these new capabilities, administrators can easily streamline and manage the security of their Kubernetes cluster fleet. They can also take advantage of the rich policy insights dashboard, which provides a centralized and holistic view of the current state of all policy events in their system.

We recently announced four new VMware Tanzu editions, each of which packages capabilities of the Tanzu portfolio into a solution that directly addresses a single, common customer challenge. Your effort to modernize applications is already complex. Tanzu editions simplify your access to the tools you’ll need to move forward. Before walking through each of the four new editions, it’s important to first call out the characteristics that are common to all of them.

For IT teams inside large organizations used to managing any number of operating environments, Kubernetes is a breath of fresh, standardizing air. Forget its origins, forget any excitement over containers or microservices, and forget the sprawling ecosystem of related projects. What has some folks charged with managing Kubernetes deployments really excited is the prospect of managing all application infrastructure essentially the same way.

Mainframe modernization is typically viewed as a multiyear, transformational journey that requires long planning phases and a massive buildout before any returns can be realized.

We hear the terms all the time: agile, transformation, developer productivity, employee happiness. Unfortunately, transformation that improves both product and delivery—and that is continuous—can be challenging. Meaningful evolution is hard when everybody involved comes into a transformation process with all sorts of biases deeply embedded.

Looking for a way to proactively troubleshoot complex application performance issues? Look no further than Tanzu Observability by Wavefront, which provides easy data ingestion and preconfigured dashboards and can be set up with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud Data Flow (SCDF) integrations.

VMware Tanzu Build Service, a completely new way of building and managing application containers for Kubernetes, is now generally available. You can download an evaluation copy on Tanzu Network today and build your first container in just a few easy steps using our guide. Although Kubernetes ushered in a new era of container-based applications with microservices architectures, the way that containers are built and maintained did not evolve much.

How can you best enable developers at your enterprise? That was the question asked, and answered, by main stage speakers on Day 2 of SpringOne. Read on for the highlights!
