VMware Tanzu Basic edition delivers all necessary components required to have a production-ready Kubernetes cluster running on vSphere. This includes lifecycle management of Kubernetes clusters, networking integrations for all communication, and a container registry to store, secure, and manage all your container images. In this video, we give you a high-level look at everything to get you started.

Coté theorizes about what the "dev" in DevOps has come to mean 15 years in.

Data Management for Tanzu is a graphical control plane and set of APIs for managing the lifecycle of Postgres and MySQL databases in vSphere-powered data centers and clouds.

In this video Tiffany Jernigan (twitter.com/tiffanyfayj) talks about the Carvel toolset tool, kapp. kapp (part of the open source Carvel suite) is a lightweight application-centric tool for deploying resources on Kubernetes. Being both explicit and application-centric it provides an easier way to deploy and view all resources created together regardless of what namespace they’re in. Being dependency-aware, it is able to wait for resources to be created, updated, or deleted, and provides a live status on the progress of the actions. Continue on to see how to get started with kapp.

Starting in April of 2020 my team was tasked with managing Tanzu Application Service on multiple foundations for a client. Early on it was a priority to establish a strong SRE practice around managing the platform. This talk discusses how we defined key metrics for monitoring availability, custom solutions for populating availability data into an observability platform (Tanzu Observability by Wavefront), dashboard creating, and alerting practices. We discuss in depth the benefits of using a burn rate when monitoring availability error budget consumption, and how this strategy allows for more sensitive alerting and limiting error budget consumption.

Coté tells you how he thinks of the different Tanzu editions.

In this demo, we are going to look at using VMware Tanzu Standard edition with Microsoft Azure. Namely, the two products that will be seen are Tanzu Kubernetes Grid and Tanzu Mission Control. Tanzu Kubernetes Grid is the enterprise container runtime that utilizes cluster API to enable full lifecycle management. Global or fleet-wide management is the capability brought by Tanzu Mission Control. Tanzu Mission Control can inherit Tanzu Kubernetes Grid clusters to do provisioning and lifecycle management through its intuitive graphical user interface.
