There is significant momentum around observability, as detailed in VMware’s 2022 State of Observability report, with almost all respondents stating that observability would benefit their organization. This is further validated by Gartner including observability in their Magic Quadrant for Application Performance Monitoring and Observability report for the first time this year.
The path to production has long been a space of custom pipelines, continuous integration (CI) sprawl, manual intervention, and tribal knowledge. Surely, there must be a better way? Something loosely coupled, more flexible, less error-prone, and doesn’t need deep integration with the tooling it controls. These goals motivated us to create Cartographer, our open source supply chain choreographer.
VMware Tanzu Operations Manager is a software appliance designed for platform operators to use BOSH, the infrastructure-as-code automation powerhouse, a much more pleasant and straightforward experience. BOSH can provision and deploy software over hundreds of virtual machines, and it also performs monitoring, failure recovery, and software updates with zero-to-minimal downtime.
The VMware Tanzu Service Mesh team is showing previews of upcoming multi-cloud operations capabilities focused on improving productivity for developers and operation teams. Here's a sneak peek of the features that were showcased this week at VMware Explore 2022 Europe.
It’s apparent that Kubernetes has become a mainstream technology in recent years. Although 99 percent of organizations are recognizing clear benefits from leveraging a containerized platform, according to the latest State of Kubernetes report, new technologies do not come without challenges and learning curves.
As Kubernetes adoption becomes pervasive for organizations in support of their application modernization efforts, we see hyper growth in the number of clusters companies are deploying.
Our first ever VMware Explore this past August was an action-packed event full of announcements, learning, and hands-on experiences. We had powerful conversations with customers and partners about how modern enterprises are making efforts to evolve out of “cloud chaos” and into a “cloud smart” world. We learned so much at the first VMware Explore event that we’re doing it again. The digital transformation journey continues, and our next stop is in Barcelona!
VMware continues to expand its VMware Tanzu Kubernetes portfolio to include new infrastructure types, providing customers with the right application components, tools, processes, and platforms to enable them to achieve a consistent developer experience, operations, and security. Today, the VMware team is pleased to announce that we are furthering that vision with availability of VMware Tanzu products on sovereign clouds.
Modern application architectures are complex, typically consisting of hundreds of distributed microservices implemented in different languages and by different teams. As a developer, site-reliability engineer, or DevOps professional, you are responsible for the reliability and performance of these complex systems. With observability, you can ask questions about your system and get answers based on the telemetry data it produces.
At VMware Explore 2022, we pre-announced new capabilities in VMware Tanzu Application Platform 1.3. Today, we’re excited to announce general availability of these capabilities to further enhance developer and application operator experiences on any Kubernetes environment, increase supply chain security, and offer additional ecosystem integrations.
