Microsoft and VMware have introduced a new tier for the Azure Spring Cloud to further empower Java developers to build enterprise apps using the Spring framework. The new Azure Spring Cloud Enterprise Tier, introduced at the SpringOne 2021 conference, is a managed service for Spring that is optimized for the needs of enterprise developers, Julia Liuson, corporate vice president of Microsoft’s Developer Division, told The New Stack. Azure Spring Cloud Enterprise provides components of VMware’s Tanzu Kubernetes deployment and management platform, “specifically to address enterprise requirements around configuration, integration, flexibility, and support,” Liuson said in a blog post.

Thus, as Aleyner put it, Azure Spring Cloud Enterprise Tier is a Microsoft-managed service for Spring that includes VMware Tanzu technology and offers enterprise-grade support, configurability, flexibility, and portability for enterprise Spring developers.

Now the Tanzu innovation is coming to Azure with Azure Spring Cloud Enterprise — making it easier for Spring developers to benefit from Tanzu innovation,” said Holger Mueller, an analyst at Constellation Research.
