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.
The next major release of VMware Tanzu Application Service is here. Tanzu Application Service is a modern application platform that enables enterprises to continuously deliver and run microservices across clouds, providing their application development teams with an automated path to production for custom code, while offering their operations teams a secure, highly available runtime.
This year’s VMware Explore saw a great deal of excitement from the multi-cloud community. It’s evident that organizations are seeking reliable ways to transform their businesses and become digitally smart. It’s also becoming increasingly more apparent that organizations are looking towards Kubernetes to help them do so. In fact, the State of Kubernetes 2022 report has shown us that not only is Kubernetes here to stay, but it’s growing at a rapid pace.
In the past few years, we’ve seen a rapid increase in container adoption as the go-to strategy for accelerating software development. After all, why wouldn’t you move towards containerization considering its advantages? Benefits such as application portability, IT resource efficiency, and increased agility would make any infrastructure or operations leader interested in adopting containers with Kubernetes.
Mphasis is a trusted VMware services partner and is a participating member of the Tanzu Partner Advisory Council. They’ve also participated in the Tanzu Application Platform Design Partner Program, which afforded them the unique opportunity to influence the future of VMware Tanzu Application Platform, by having first access to features before the general release and by providing valuable feedback to VMware’s product teams about both the developer and operator experiences.
Organizations are adopting cloud native and multi-cloud architectures to drive innovation, achieve faster time to market, improve yield, and deliver exceptional experiences to their customers. However, for all the business benefits of modernizing, the process does not come without challenges.
