VMware Explore 2022 Europe—Adopting a multi-cloud
strategy is essential to the success of modern enterprises, fueling
growth and innovation by increasing flexibility while addressing
necessary security and compliance requirements. In parallel, there
is a rising need to consistently deliver, operationalize, and
manage application sprawl across public and private clouds, or at
edge locations to reign in exponentially growing complexity. Today
at VMware Explore 2022 Europe, VMware (NYSE: VMW) will announce
advancements to its VMware Tanzu® cloud native app portfolio and
VMware Aria cloud management platform to deliver a cloud smart
approach to cloud native application development, delivery, and
management that supports customers at every step of their journey,
across any Kubernetes and across any cloud.
“We know that no two application modernization journeys are
alike, and organizations need freedom to select the right cloud,
software artifacts, and services, for the right application, based
on those individual application needs. But as businesses expand to
new clouds to leverage unique services, the lack of skilled
developers, Kubernetes expertise, security, compliance, and
management complexity of operating across clouds are often cited as
leading challenges,” said Ajay Patel, senior vice president and
general manager, Modern Apps & Management Business Group,
VMware. “Platform teams need solutions that enable developer
velocity, establish standard guardrails, and implement secure
software pipelines to accelerate time to value, empower
self-service, while unifying visibility and management to
capitalize on the benefits of multi-cloud. Today’s enhancements
across VMware Tanzu, VMware Image Builder™, and VMware Aria
portfolios represent the latest milestone in VMware’s commitment to
supporting our customers’ unique transformations with intelligent,
holistic tools that deliver greater flexibility, consistency, and
choice.”
Deliver Application Building Blocks for Developers to Align
with Security and Compliance Requirements
Open source is at the core of enterprise innovation with rapid
adoption across enterprises in development, but use in production
has slowed due to concerns on addressing security and lifecycle
management, as reported in VMware’s State of Secure Supply Chain
Survey 2022.(1) To address the growing needs around managing the
content that enters into the corporate software supply chain,
VMware will announce the beta launch of VMware Image Builder, the
Bitnami engine powering the automation behind the packaging,
verification and distribution of VMware Application Catalog™
artifacts. VMware Image Builder is an API-first SaaS solution that
enables automation of the creation of secure, trusted, and
continuously maintained software artifacts in alignment with
corporate compliance standards to publish to developers as building
blocks in the development process. VMware Image Builder enables
packaging artifacts into multiple formats (Containers, Helm,
Carvel, OVA), followed by the ability to trigger a range of
verification tests including compliance check, functional,
performance tests and vulnerability scans on a variety of
Kubernetes distributions and VMware vSphere® across all major cloud
platforms.
Harness Any Kubernetes on Any Cloud with VMware Tanzu® for
Kubernetes Operations
VMware’s State of Kubernetes report(2) found that more than 40%
of respondents utilize hybrid cloud models and 52% choose multiple
public cloud vendors - revealing the state of cloud chaos many
organizations are working to navigate. VMware’s Tanzu for
Kubernetes Operations helps teams enable the right Kubernetes
environment anywhere while standardizing and simplifying the
management and security of those applications and environments.
At VMware Explore Europe, VMware will announce updates to key
components of Tanzu for Kubernetes Operations – including VMware
Tanzu® Kubernetes Grid™, VMware Tanzu® Mission Control™, and VMware
Tanzu® Service Mesh™ Advanced edition – to optimize operations for
any Kubernetes at scale, running on any cloud or at the edge,
helping customers achieve faster development cycles and time to
market for the workloads their business depends on. The new VMware
Tanzu enhancements make Kubernetes optimized for edge environments,
provide consistent Kubernetes management to on-prem, air-gapped
environments, and bring Kubernetes operations to more public
clouds.
Today, VMware will announce Tanzu Kubernetes Grid 2.1, which
introduces support for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, in addition to
existing support for AWS, Azure, and vSphere, giving customers even
more flexibility and consistency in deployments along their
multi-cloud journeys. VMware will also announce a new initiative to
design and offer self-managed, private deployments of VMware Tanzu
Mission Control, which provides automated, policy-driven management
and security support to customers as they scale Kubernetes cluster
deployments. Customers that must operate in on-premises and
air-gapped environments can benefit from full control of their
entire fleet of clusters and network infrastructure connectivity.
In addition to these updates, Tanzu Service Mesh Advanced will
include additional capabilities to allow operators to automatically
discover Kubernetes clusters, enable onboarding of those clusters
for secure connectivity, and take advantage of new GitOps support
to further unify operations with Kubernetes clusters.
Reimagine multi-cloud management with VMware Aria Hub™,
VMware Aria Graph™
As IT teams accelerate app development and leverage a
multi-cloud environment, platform teams must increasingly rely on
cost, performance, security, and configuration data – often sitting
in disparate tools – to understand the complete characteristics of
the application that they are building. New enhancements to
VMware’s Tanzu portfolio are complemented by new and expanded
VMware Aria capabilities for cloud native application and
multi-cloud management.
Unveiled at VMware Explore U.S. in San Francisco, VMware Aria
Graph is a graph-based data store technology that provides a near
real-time map of applications and clouds with management insights
from customers’ existing VMware Aria solutions as well as federated
third-party management tools. VMware Aria Graph is available within
VMware Aria Hub, a new platform that provides centralized views and
controls to manage the entire multi-cloud environment. Together,
the VMware Aria portfolio, including VMware Aria Hub and VMware
Aria Graph, deliver app-aware management to native public clouds
and hybrid clouds that can empower customers to address challenges
that span discipline, tools, and teams.
Today at VMware Explore Europe, VMware is announcing the initial
availability of a new free offering of VMware Aria Hub powered by
VMware Aria Graph. This new free tier offering will enable
customers to inventory, map, filter, and search resources from up
to two of their native public cloud accounts in either Amazon Web
Services or Microsoft Azure. The freemium offering will allow users
to understand the relationships of their resources to other
resources, policies, and other key components in their cloud
environments. Additional free functionality will include visibility
into CIS benchmark violation data coming from VMware Aria
Automation™ for Secure Clouds as well as list price costing for
resources coming from VMware Aria Cost™ powered by CloudHealth®.
With the free tier, customers will be able to manually curate
applications to better understand dependencies and relationships of
their business applications. Initial availability of this freemium
offering is expected in VMware’s Q4 FY23. VMware is also announcing
the Beta availability of VMware Aria Migration™. Previously
announced as Tech Preview at VMware Explore in San Francisco,
VMware Aria Migration is a new end-to-end service that can leverage
VMware Aria Hub and VMware Aria Graph to accelerate and simplify
the multi-cloud migration journey by automating assessment,
planning, and execution.
