On November 1, 2020, Docker Hub will begin limiting anonymous and free account image pulls. While some may be upset about the change, it reflects a larger reality that takes into consideration the risks associated with consuming public content—most public repositories have some level of rate limiting to prevent denial-of-service attacks and customer metering—in addition to the cost of hosting public content.
The release of vSphere 7.0 U1 brings with it a lot of new enhancements to the platform’s core, while the four new Tanzu editions make it easier to package a complete Kubernetes solution. In the meantime, using vSphere with Tanzu has been simplified even more with use of the vSphere Distributed Switch as its main networking construct. Now your vSphere environment can be transformed into a Kubernetes powerhouse.
T-Mobile has been a vocal Tanzu Application Service user for years, and as that environment grows—along with its younger Kubernetes environment—the wireless provider is learning a lot of valuable lessons.
To be good at software, you have to run a cloud platform at enterprise scale. Automation is essential to this task. The automation of patches, updates, and upgrades is the hallmark of a healthy “platform as product” practice. At VMware, we’re always looking for ways to make automation easier for customers. To that end, our efforts have reached a new milestone: The new platform automation release of Concourse is now generally available.
If there’s one golden rule of digital transformation, it’s that developers must be able to develop new apps and features—quickly, simply, and securely. If there’s another golden rule of digital transformation, it’s that developers must be able to push that new code to production—quickly, simply, and securely. Without these capabilities, it’s less digital transformation and more digital lip service.
Security and data breaches continue to be among the top concerns of organizations around the world. As a SaaS provider, we always make the information security of our customers our top consideration and build service and the operational controls around it, all while striving to adhere to the best security practices the industry has established.
It’s now easier than ever to bring backing services running on Kubernetes to apps running on VMware Tanzu Application Service. VMware Tanzu Service Manager, now generally available, brings the cf marketplace lifecycle commands to services—such as databases, message queues, or caches—packaged for Kubernetes. You can download Tanzu Service Manager via the Tanzu Network.
We’re excited to announce the release of VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition 1.9 with support for Kubernetes 1.18.8.

In this post, we'll focus on some of the key capabilities offered in Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition 1.9 that further support customers with production readiness.
A lot has happened since VMworld 2019. OK, that might be the understatement of the year. But in that time, VMware Tanzu has evolved into a broad portfolio for building and modernizing applications. Operations teams now have what they need to build a more secure software supply chain. And, at the foundation, vSphere pros have a simplified way to get started with Kubernetes.
