2021 was a monumental year for the VMware Marketplace team. We grew our VMware Marketplace community by thousands of users who created hundreds of thousands of subscriptions. Moreover, we worked hard to add new capabilities and resources on the Marketplace to make it easier for our users to access and use solutions that they need to build, run, and manage applications. Here’s a quick recap of what we achieved over the past year: Purchase Solutions On VMware Marketplace We added the ability to purchase solutions via credit card directly from VMware Marketplace – making it the single location to discover, try, purchase, and deploy VMware ecosystem solutions! As the next step, we plan to expand our commerce capabilities to include other payment methods and more. Read the Announcement > Automated Validations We introduced Platform Validation, which automatically validates publisher solutions on pre-selected target platforms during the publish process and with the release of a new version of the underlying platform. For our users, this guarantees confidence and security, as they are always able to deploy proven, validated solutions from the Marketplace. Read the Blog > Video Resources Over the past year, we created several demo videos to help our users deploy solutions from VMware Marketplace to platforms such as VMware Cloud Director, VMware Cloud, and Tanzu Kubernetes Grid. Together with our Documentation, these videos prove to be an invaluable resource for our thousands of users as they utilize our catalog of solutions. Watch the Videos > Catch Us on Tanzu TV In the past few months, we joined Tanzu thought leaders and developer advocates - Nate Schutta, Tiffany Jernigan, and Michael Cote - to discuss and demonstrate how the Marketplace can help developers easily build and deploy applications. On Tanzu Tuesday, we discussed new packaging formats such as Flux and Carvel for Kubeapps, now available on VMware Marketplace. On Between Chair and Keyboard, we chatted about AI and how to build services with developers in mind. We also talked about how VMware Marketplace helps to simplify the software supply chain on Tanzu Talk. Plus, we added resources such as guides and demos on the Tanzu Developer Center.
