Software is a business asset, and software-led innovation initiatives yield better business results. Since its inception two years ago, VMware Tanzu continues to focus on helping customers respond quickly to changing market dynamics, recognize new sources of revenue, build brand loyalty, and reduce costs.

On two occasions in December 2021, VMware Tanzu Application Service released remediations within 48 hours of critical CVEs being announced. These remediations were both in response to the Log4j saga, enabling VMware customers to defend against attack vectors quickly after the Day 0 event. This quick response is a reflection of the dedication of the VMware engineering teams working on Tanzu Application Service today.

Red Hat OpenShift is an enterprise Kubernetes platform that provides users with a unified cloud experience wherever it’s deployed. VMware Tanzu Observability by Wavefront offers observability and analytics for multi-cloud Kubernetes environments. Now these two products work even better together.

Kpack, a Kubernetes-native container build platform, is a powerful tool that helps DevSecOps teams build and update containers automatically. It is already a core component of VMware’s commercial container build offering, VMware Tanzu Build Service. And today, the kpack technology you know and love has been added as the default container build solution in VMware Tanzu Community Edition, the freely available, open source distribution of the Kubernetes-based Tanzu platform.

Companies are under immense pressure to get “good” at software development in order to quickly adapt to changing business needs and provide a better experience for their customers. At the core of being “good” at software is developer experience.
