VMware is providing more support for DevOps teams with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) ambitions, as vSphere with Tanzu has been upgraded for developers of AI applications, the company co-announced today with AI and GPU partner Nvidia on the first day of VMWorld. After previously announcing the availability of Nvidia AI Enterprise and vSphere with Tanzu for container access for AI developers, “now we’re now announcing the ability to have the Kubernetes orchestrator — that’s an important distinction,” said Lee Caswell, VMware’s vice president for product and technical marketing, during a press conference ahead of the event.

This new level of integration between Nvidia AI Enterprise and VMware vSphere with Tanzu provides a set of APIs to simplify both: the development and operations of AI-driven application capabilities on Kubernetes.

The improved integration of Tanzu and Nvidia AI Enterprise is important for developers and DevOps teams that need a simpler way to add AI capabilities to their development and release pipelines, VMware said.

Tuesday, VMware is also announcing that Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Service, included in VMware vSphere with Tanzu, is integrated with Nvidia AI Enterprise, enabling customers to automate the delivery of containerized workloads, and proactively manage apps in production.
