The public preview for lifecycle management of Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) clusters through VMware Tanzu Mission Control allowed users to create, update/scale, upgrade, and delete clusters with native Amazon EKS APIs through Tanzu Mission Control.

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.
