How can you best enable developers at your enterprise? That was the question asked, and answered, by main stage speakers on Day 2 of SpringOne. Read on for the highlights!

VMware Tanzu Build Service, a completely new way of building and managing application containers for Kubernetes, is now generally available. You can download an evaluation copy on Tanzu Network today and build your first container in just a few easy steps using our guide. Although Kubernetes ushered in a new era of container-based applications with microservices architectures, the way that containers are built and maintained did not evolve much.

“Kubernetes vs. Docker” is a phrase that you hear more and more these days as Kubernetes becomes ever more popular as a container orchestration solution. However, “Kubernetes vs. Docker” is also a somewhat misleading phrase. When you break it down, these words don’t mean what many people intend them to mean, because Docker and Kubernetes aren’t direct competitors.

The old security model, which followed the “trust but verify” method, is broken. That model granted excessive implicit trust that attackers abused, putting the organization at risk from malicious internal actors and allowing unauthorized outsiders wide-reaching access once inside. The new model, Zero Trust networking, presents an approach where the default posture is to deny access.

Azure Kubernetes Service, Microsoft's managed Kubernetes solution, allows you to quickly create a Kubernetes cluster in Microsoft Azure and provides features to help you manage and maintain your Kubernetes cluster in Azure. In this blog post we will go over some of the features of AKS and then walk through creating an AKS cluster.

Kubernetes has become the de-facto industry standard for container orchestration. It provides the required abstraction for efficiently managing large-scale containerized applications with declarative configurations, an easy deployment mechanism, and both scaling and self-healing capabilities.

The Spring community virtually converged for the first day of SpringOne. Over 40,000 of our closest friends registered for the event! The VMware team and a rich community of speakers put on quite the show, discussing the state of enterprise development and best practices for getting apps to production. Here’s a look at some of our favorite moments from Day 1.

Spring Cloud Gateway for VMware Tanzu was released January 2020 as a service on Tanzu Application Service (TAS) and was quickly deployed into production by many of our customers. Our focus is to offer the most developer-friendly API gateway experience while still providing the operational configuration, security and governance needed for successful enterprise management.

Spring Cloud Data Flow (SCDF) for Kubernetes 1.1 is now generally available, building on the open source SCDF version 2.6 released in August. The Kubernetes-based commercial offering leverages Tanzu Observability by Wavefront for dashboarding and observability, and enables developers to take their data pipelines to the next level with the introduction of Multi I/O for event-streaming applications.

The “as a service” business model continues to grow rapidly, largely thanks to the rise of cloud computing. “As a service” offerings deliver IT products and technologies such as software, hardware, and data storage to consumers via the Internet, rather than having to install or manage them themselves. Serverless and containers are two such “as a service” technologies that have seen increasing adoption in recent years.
