New VMware Tanzu and VMware Aria platform
capabilities help businesses drive both innovation and cost
management in today’s volatile financial environment
Today’s businesses must prioritize software agility to enable
resilience amidst turbulent macroeconomic times. But adoption at
scale is challenging given the different clouds, tools,
methodologies, and skills needed to successfully accelerate and
mature application delivery. As cloud native concepts and adoption
grows, it’s essential to invest in capabilities that accelerate
developer productivity, drive revenue, and stay competitive.
VMware, Inc. (NYSE: VMW) today announced new capabilities across
the VMware Tanzu and VMware Aria platforms to empower customers
with the capabilities to take a cloud-smart approach to modern
application delivery across any cloud.
“Our customers across the enterprise are engaged in a cumbersome
balancing act -- juggling multiple tools, teams, clouds, and
operating models while at the same time keeping developers
productive and the operations team equipped to keep pace. This
scenario demands a new approach around a common cloud native app
platform and a multi-disciplinary platform engineering team,” said
Purnima Padmanabhan, General Manager and SVP, Modern Applications
and Management Business Group, VMware. “Customers tell us they need
to rapidly innovate while at the same time manage cost, security,
and performance. In response, we expedited the launch of new
capabilities across VMware Tanzu and VMware Aria. We are committed
to helping customers drive innovation and optimization every step
of the app development and cloud management journey.”
Tanzu Application Platform 1.5, with new capabilities will
enable companies to build and deploy more software, more quickly
and securely, through a rich set of developer tooling. It offers
pre-paved, more secure golden paths to production customized to
their business. The Tanzu Application Platform 1.5 release enhances
end-to-end app security, streamlines developer and platform
engineering experiences, and expands support for leading
third-party integrations, including improved developer and platform
engineering experiences, more streamlined deployments at scale on
EKS with AWS QuickStart, expanded Azure support, out of-the-box and
expanded customer choice of security tools like auto-configuration
of Transport Layer Security (TLS) and support for external security
tools for secrets management.
As part of its commitment to supporting customers at every stage
of Kubernetes platform maturity, VMware also announced several
updates to Tanzu for Kubernetes Operations that aim to increase
security, choice and operational efficiency of multi-cluster and
multi-Kubernetes platform operations across any cloud. Tanzu
Mission Control now supports full lifecycle management of new and
existing AWS EKS clusters, the ability to mutate the security
context for containers and pods and allows the modification of OPA
Gatekeeper policy settings at all levels such as organization,
cluster group, and cluster. These capabilities enable platform
teams to adopt a ‘shift-left’ approach to security and greater
flexibility to navigate the ever-changing world of Kubernetes
security policy management.
Additionally, the company is introducing innovations across the
VMware Aria platform including Aria Hub powered by Aria Graph, Aria
Cost powered by CloudHealth, and Aria Guardrails. VMware Aria
solutions help cloud operations teams to harness multi-cloud
capabilities with intelligent insights into distributed
environments, and provide the capabilities that enable optimized
cost, performance, and security of applications and infrastructure
aligned to business priorities. In times of increased budget
scrutiny, the increased governance, security, and cost management
that the VMware Aria portfolio provides is vital for business
leaders focused on efficiency and scale.
VMware improves multi-cloud visibility with the addition of
Google Cloud support in VMware Aria Hub Free Tier alongside AWS and
Azure, adds support for Kubernetes environments with a new
infrastructure dashboard with service-to-service topology view, and
adds VMware Aria Guardrails capabilities, including landing zones
policies templates and config drift management, to the Free
Tier.
For expanded multi-cloud cost management, VMware Aria Cost now
includes support for Alibaba Cloud, enabling customers and partners
to gain visibility into all Alibaba Cloud costs and usage in a
single platform and streamline decision-making. The addition of
Alibaba Cloud expands existing VMware Aria Cost support for Amazon
Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Oracle
Cloud Infrastructure, VMware Cloud on AWS (beta), data center, and
containerized environments. VMware Aria Cost is also expanding its
Kubernetes reporting capabilities by introducing the ability to
right-size Kubernetes environments to optimize cloud-native
application environments in addition to the cloud.
Lastly, VMware continues to automate and streamline cloud
infrastructure management with full-stack visibility across
private, hybrid and multi-cloud environments. VMware Aria
Operations introduces a new integration with Aria Observability (a
multi-cloud observability solution) to enable IT teams to gain
contextualized visibility across their infrastructure, Kubernetes
environments and applications with the aim to eliminate the need
for disparate tools to effectively manage multi-clouds and provides
a holistic platform view enabling faster troubleshooting and
reducing mean-time-to-resolution to improve application
performance.
