VMware Eases Kubernetes Dev Woes with Tanzu Application PlatformCategory: Software, Business, Microsoft, Kubernetes, Infrastructure, automation
Enterprise software provider VMware is out to help developers deliver better multicloud experiences on Kubernetes with its recently released beta of the Tanzu Application Platform (TAP). Overall, the goal of TAP is to simplify the often complicated Kubernetes experience for developers by providing an opinionated developer platform that eliminates complexity and offers guardrails via templates with baked-in security, compliance and best practices to suit enterprise needs.
All they now have to do is provide some basic application parameters and TAP will get everything running on TKG, AKS, GKE, or EKS.”
Graham Siener, vice president of product at VMware, told The New Stack that TAP is intended to strike a balance between building strict abstractions around Kubernetes and leaving developers on their own.
Meanwhile, VMware was in a “double pickle” with an aging Cloud Foundry platform and with its virtualization platform due to the adoption and success of Kubernetes, said Holger Mueller, an analyst at Constellation Research.
