And, of course, VMware Tanzu's appdev stack has you covered here!

Getting a handle on tech debt seems easy at first, but how do you systematize it and build up the habit of addressing it. One of the chief problems is comparing the benefits of releasing new features (business value!) versus addressing tech debt. Coté watches a presentation from Tanzu Labs experts covering how to identify and address tech debt.

In this session we will discuss the customization points in Tanzu Community Edition and demonstrate the capabilities of these different options. This includes options like cluster config changes, auto installation of software, and custom Carvel package repositories.

Building and maintaining production ready container images is a critical requirement for success with Kubernetes. Developers and organizations alike have put a lot of effort over the past decade into DIY solutions, whether it is working on the “perfect” Dockerfile, or automating the build as part of an existing pipeline. These home-grown solutions certainly address immediate needs. If we take a step back, however, we can see significant gaps that introduce overhead, risk and inefficiency. Luckily, as the Kubernetes ecosystem matures, new solutions become available. We can rethink the problem at hand, set higher goals, and achieve them more easily. In this talk, we’ll explore how Cloud Native Buildpacks—and kpack in particular—can boost your image-building capabilities at scale. We’ll also cover how you can easily use kpack and Knative together with Tanzu Community Edition.

In this video, we go over VMware Tanzu Community Edition with VMware vSphere using a simple network configuration and managed clusters. You will learn step-by-step what is needed to quickly get started. This video utilizes Kube-VIP as the networking choice but will explain all of the available options.

You’re probably not doing CI/CD, maybe not even CI! If you’re going all kubernetes and cloud native, you need to solve that problem

Join Ryan Baker and Aaron Torgerson as they demo both the developer and operator experience for VMware Tanzu Application Platform. They’ll give a brief overview of what Tanzu Application Platform is and how it will help your organization go from developing code to securely running applications on any Kubernetes!

VMware Tanzu Application Platform delivers a comprehensive developer experience for any Kubernetes. It enables developers to quickly onboard, rapidly iterate, and deliver apps to production seamlessly and more securely. This video talks about the core principles underlying the platform, including templates for quick access to cloud native patterns, as well as instant access to a rich set of developer tooling and modular components that can be customized for an organization's preferences and compliance policies.
