Nandish Parmar, director for virtualization platforms at Solera, explains how different teams, when using their own tool sets, bring the need for a solution that can work across those scenarios. Developer education is also a challenge as they must understand pods, containers, and all dependencies running on Kubernetes platforms.

Applications running in virtual machines (VMs) are mostly static and single tenant, relying on backup of the file system. Kubernetes is a multitenant environment with lots of metadata information (e.g., config maps, secrets, pods, etc.) and distributed applications. So, a Kubernetes data protection solution needs to understand Kubernetes patterns to deal with continuous changes inside a cluster, and a cloud native data protection solution should be application-centric and not infrastructure-centric.

GraphQL is a declarative query language that simplifies retrieving data from an application's back end. It provides a clear and comprehensive description of the data in your API, giving you the ability to request only what you need. This makes it easy to evolve APIs over time and enables powerful developer tools.

With globally distributed applications (and teams), the job of software architect isn’t getting any easier; applications are growing increasingly complex, and architects are spread thin. You can’t be involved with every decision. You must empower your teams while ensuring they make good choices. How do you do that? How can frameworks, such as Spring for Java and Steeltoe for.NET, not only make your life easier but also help your teams deliver robust applications to production?

As enterprises see the need to accelerate their software development processes, traditional operations teams are evolving to become platform engineering teams. These teams are tasked with designing and building self-service platforms for development teams that reduce the amount of work required to build, deploy and operate software securely, all while accelerating the development teams in delivering business outcomes.

Kubernetes is all the rage, but did you know cloud native development predates its invention? This session will give an overview of VMware Tanzu Application Service and the surrounding Cloud Foundry ecosystem that powers it. Learn how the iconic cf push set the gold standard in developer experience and cloud native development more than a decade ago. In this video, we explore additional services of the platform surrounding logging, cloud native service brokers, databases/middleware as a service, and automation frameworks. This session will show how you can enable your organization with all the benefits of a cloud native application platform without the burden of managing and maintaining Kubernetes.

To be successful in today's rapid pace of innovation, organizations must adopt a DevSecOps methodology, which promotes shared responsibility and collaboration between these teams, enabling them to transition from idea to production in a more reliable, secure and efficient way.

Learn how to move a cluster using the VMware Tanzu Mission Control UI and how to unmanage and manage a cluster. A managed cluster can be lifecycle managed by Tanzu Mission Control even if it was created outside of the tool. This option goes beyond attaching a cluster because it includes lifecycle management (LCM) capabilities, while attached clusters do not include LCM support.

Learn how to create clusters in different cloud providers from a single place using the VMware Tanzu Mission Control Terraform provider and how to enable continuous delivery.
