What is VMware Tanzu?
Optimize Your Approach to App Modernization
Build Apps and Microservices
It might start with just an idea for an application. Our designers and engineers work alongside your development team from concept to code to production. We use agile development methods and product design best practices to deliver an application that makes the best use of microservices and APIs.
Build modern applications with VMware to accelerate your development process and keep pace with a digital-first world.
Modernize Existing Apps
Identifying the right strategy for application modernization can be challenging. Sometimes, the answer is to break apart an existing monolith into loosely coupled microservices. Other times, simply containerizing an application and moving it to a platform like Kubernetes can deliver immediate benefits.
We’ll help you navigate the journey, improve the developer experience, and establish repeatable, secure, and efficient processes.
Consume Kubernetes Across Private and Public Clouds
Get started with Kubernetes quickly and take command of every Kubernetes cluster anywhere—on premises, in a public cloud, and at the edge. Deploy and operate with consistency to realize more than 90% operational efficiency.
Manage policies and security for all your Kubernetes clusters from a single command center. Plus, unlock a ubiquitous Kubernetes runtime that’s fully aligned to open source.
Embrace DevSecOps for Modern Apps
Releasing high quality code to production faster and more frequently requires a secure software supply chain, well-managed infrastructure, and a way to automate the steps between development and production. Get the tools to adopt a DevSecOps mindset and automate security at the container, microservice and platform levels, without slowing down developers. Then you can focus more on building valuable applications and less on managing increasingly complex architectures.
