The next major release of VMware GemFire is now available! GemFire is a high-speed in-memory database for low-latency applications. Focused on resiliency and consistency, GemFire makes it easy to scale your data and support business-critical applications, whether they are on-premises, in the cloud, or somewhere in between. GemFire 10* was pre-announced at the SpringOne Essentials conference in January and later released as a public beta.
As IT organizations attempt wide-scale cloud adoption, the importance of common best practices across applications and products is growing, sparking an exciting new conversation about platform teams and related disciplines like platform engineering. The problem statement driving the investment in platform teams is clear: developing, operating, and optimizing a modern application is becoming too complex for many product delivery teams to solve independently.
VMware Tanzu Application Service is a mission-critical platform that enables enterprises to deliver their applications faster with a secure path to production. Additionally, the platform can allow for improved engineering efficiency by offering a highly-automated, intrinsically secure, and resilient application runtime. Today, we are pre-announcing the release of VMware Tanzu Application Service 4.0!
Consolidating or exiting your data center is a complex and high-stakes initiative. Despite the many benefits of moving to the cloud, lifting and shifting workloads without a clear understanding of dependencies between workloads or without addressing underlying technical debt or security vulnerabilities can result in bigger, more expensive problems in the long term.
VMware Tanzu Application Platform is a single, end-to-end integrated platform solution that enables companies to build and deploy more software, more quickly and securely, through a rich set of developer tooling and pre-paved, customizable “golden paths” to production—all on any public cloud or on-premises Kubernetes cluster.
Despite turbulent economic times, IT budgets are staying flat or growing, with investment priorities focused on increasing operational efficiency and profitability, according to the latest State of the CIO survey. Enterprises are looking to optimize their existing IT infrastructures and do more with what they have to free up resources—including talent and funding—for innovation projects.
Carol Pereira and Corey Dinkens contributed to this blog post. With the increasing complexity of distributed systems, it is essential to define and implement policies for Kubernetes clusters to ensure the security, reliability, and compliance of the environment—and of course to build the scaffolding for scalability. So, we are glad to announce that VMware Tanzu Mission Control now has additional policy improvements designed to enhance Kubernetes security.
The companies we at VMware Tanzu work with are constantly looking for new, better ways of developing and releasing quality software faster. But digital transformation means fundamentally changing the way you do business, a process that can be derailed by any number of obstacles. In his recent video series, Coté identifies 14 reasons why it’s hard to change development practices in large organizations, such as security and compliance.
Evan Prowse compiled this blog post. In true Tanzu Labs fashion, the Miro boards and guidance featured are the result of contributions by many Tanzu Labs colleagues. One of the core tenets of VMware Tanzu Labs is to share our knowledge of software development best practices and principles with the larger tech community. In the past, we often did this by hosting community events in our offices around the globe.
VMware Application Catalog (formerly Tanzu Application Catalog) is a catalog of trusted, continuously maintained, and verifiably tested open source images that is custom-built to enterprise specifications, and privately delivered directly to a customer’s registry of choice. Recently, we added JFrog Container Registry and Amazon Elastic Container Registry to our list of supported registries, in addition to Google Container Registry, Azure Container Registry, and Harbor.
