What Is Tanzu?
|
| Tanzu allows you to containerize your workloads to run on premises or in the cloud, while increasing security and manageability. You can refactor existing software to be delivered continuously and resiliently. You run and manage your applications consistently everywhere, on a secure and scalable infrastructure with a conformant Kubernetes runtime. |
VMware Tanzu Application Platform allows application developers to build, containerize, and deploy applications across your Kubernetes infrastructure. VMware Tanzu for Kubernetes Operations allows platform operators to build, manage, and monitor Kubernetes environments across multiple platforms, both on premises and in the public cloud. VMware Tanzu Application Service is VMware's implementation of the Cloud Foundry open source project.
Tanzu Solutions Workbooks and Reference Architectures
To help you to plan your deployment, the Tanzu Reference Architecture Documentation provides validated deployment configurations for Tanzu. The Reference Architecture docs include Tanzu Solutions Workbooks that describe how to implement specific use cases with Tanzu Application Platform and Tanzu Application Service. Workbooks for new use cases are added regularly.
