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.

If you have ever deployed Kubernetes services, you understand the pain of having to maintain DNS records for an ever-growing number of internal and external services. ExternalDNS helps address this pain and reduces the amount of toil required for manual record keeping by programmatically updating DNS servers. Before we get into the details of how that works, let’s quickly review what functionality the ExternalDNS package provides.
If you are not familiar with the term, FOMO is short for “fear of missing out,” and some developers are feeling it these days. Developers want to be a part of a technical community and stay current by working on, and with, the most innovative technologies. Open source FOMO comes when they witness their peers getting to explore new technologies that help them get ahead, while they’re bogged down with stale technology and monolithic apps.
