Why Your Business Needs VMware Tanzu Platform

Tanzu Platform isn't just Kubernetes, it's the cloud-native application platform combining Cloud Foundry experience, Kubernetes orchestration, marketplace services, and self-managed control plane for software delivery.

Faster Time to Production: Tanzu’s source-to-production supply chains automate building, testing, scanning, and deploying containerized apps, eliminating manual CI/CD pipelines and shipping code faster.

Developer Experience Without Kubernetes Pain: Application spaces and Cloud Foundry abstractions let developers deploy code without learning Kubernetes YAML, while platform engineers handle infrastructure complexity.

Multi-Kubernetes Flexibility: Tanzu supports any CNCF-compliant Kubernetes distribution including VKS, EKS, AKS, and GKE so you avoid vendor lock-in and run apps across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

Production-Grade Marketplace: Tanzu Data Services marketplace delivers production-ready Postgres, Kafka, Redis, RabbitMQ, and Apache Spark with automated provisioning and lifecycle management for self-service.

Built for how modern enterprises deliver cloud-native applications at scale.

Everything your business needs to deliver cloud-native applications at scale, delivered in one cloud-native platform covering Cloud Foundry, Kubernetes, application spaces, source-to-production supply chains, marketplace services, GSLB, and air-gapped support.

Application Spaces & Cloud Foundry

Tanzu Platform application spaces deliver an application-centric layer of abstraction over Kubernetes, giving developers a Cloud-Foundry-like push-to-deploy experience without learning Kubernetes YAML, manifests, or operator patterns. Application spaces let developers focus on code while platform teams centrally define configurations to meet organizational governance and compliance requirements. Tanzu Application Service for VMs continues delivering the proven Cloud Foundry runtime.

Multi-Kubernetes Support

Tanzu Platform supports any CNCF-compliant Kubernetes distribution running anywhere, including VMware vSphere Kubernetes Service in VCF, Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition with NSX, Amazon EKS, Azure AKS, and Google GKE, providing operational consistency across private cloud and hyperscaler environments. Connected Clusters integration lets platform engineers enroll off-platform Kubernetes clusters through Tanzu Hub. Multi-cluster fleet management simplifies operations across many clusters.

Source-to-Production Supply Chains

Tanzu Application Platform automates source-to-production pipelines including building secure container images with verified base layers, scanning for vulnerabilities, signing artifacts, configuring CI/CD pipelines, and deploying to staging and production Kubernetes environments without manual intervention. Pre-built supply chain templates encode security best practices for inner-loop and outer-loop deployment. Immutable supply chain protects against tampering using trusted Buildpacks.

Tanzu Data Services Marketplace

Tanzu Data Services marketplace delivers production-ready managed services including Tanzu Postgres, Tanzu Apache Kafka, Tanzu Redis, Tanzu RabbitMQ, Tanzu Greenplum, and Tanzu Apache Spark, all installable through Tanzu Operations Manager tiles or operator-based tiles for Kubernetes runtimes. Developers discover, provision, and bind data services from the marketplace or CLI. Service instances run on Tanzu Platform while developers consume them through native Kubernetes APIs.

Global Control Plane & Networking

Tanzu Platform 10 delivers a self-managed global control plane providing automation and visibility across Cloud Foundry foundations and Kubernetes clusters spanning multiple availability zones, clouds, and edge sites. Global Server Load Balancing and Advanced Networking powered by VMware AVI Load Balancer brings pre-configured routing for Cloud Foundry deployments, source-to-URL dynamic networking, and dynamic DNS for Kubernetes. Air-gapped support enables secure off-network deployments.
