Key Features of Tanzu Platform 10
-
Optimized Infrastructure Costs:
Tanzu Platform 10 reduces the infrastructure needed for Cloud Foundry foundations by up to 70%. For instance, the number of virtual machines required for a new deployment has dropped from 13 to just 4, saving costs and simplifying scaling for distributed applications.
-
Enhanced Security with Plug-and-Play FIPS Libraries:
Developers can integrate Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS)-approved libraries into their apps, ensuring compliance with stringent security standards. For example, apps using these libraries can self-check for compliance and alert administrators in real time if issues arise.
-
Improved App Visibility and Resiliency:
Organizations can now monitor applications across multiple regions and zones through a unified dashboard, helping teams quickly identify and address performance issues. Built-in runbooks, for instance, provide actionable recommendations to fix problems faster.
-
Support for GenAI Applications:
Tanzu Platform 10 integrates AI-friendly tools, allowing developers to build and scale AI-powered apps seamlessly. For example, by utilizing VMware Private AI Foundation, organizations can host AI models on GPU infrastructure for enhanced privacy and performance.
Real-World Applications
- Financial Services: Banks can deploy large-scale applications across multiple regions while maintaining high security and governance.
- Retail: Businesses can create intelligent customer service chatbots powered by GenAI while reducing infrastructure costs.
- Government Agencies: Secure and compliant deployments are made easier with built-in governance tools and FIPS libraries.
Kubernetes Made Simple
One of Tanzu Platform 10's standout features is its ability to bring the simplicity of Cloud Foundry’s “cf-push” developer experience to Kubernetes. Developers, even those new to Kubernetes, can now deploy applications without worrying about its underlying complexities.
For example
A retail company can use Tanzu Platform 10 to deploy Kubernetes-based e-commerce applications without needing a team of Kubernetes experts.
Advanced-Data Services
The platform also introduces powerful data management tools, such as pre-configured high-availability setups for databases like MySQL and PostgreSQL. These features reduce setup time while ensuring reliable performance.
Summary
Broadcom's VMware Tanzu Platform 10 is a game-changer for private cloud application development. By simplifying infrastructure, improving security, and enhancing developer productivity, it empowers organizations across industries to innovate faster and more effectively.
Whether you’re building AI-driven applications or deploying Kubernetes workloads, Tanzu Platform 10 provides the tools you need to succeed in a competitive digital landscape.
