We are excited to share that technology research and analysis provider GigaOm has named VMware Tanzu Observability as a fast-moving leader in its forward-looking assessment of the cloud observability vendor space in 2021. Its cloud observability report considered solution connections; data integration and processing; performance management; root cause analysis; and full-stack observability.
One of the major considerations when modernizing applications is how and where they’re going to be hosted—what we call landing zones. Today, you have a wide variety of options that includes, at least, some combination of on-prem, public cloud(s), Kubernetes, VMs, PaaS, and bare metal. Because of the dynamic nature of applications and the complexities of enterprise IT budgets, choosing is rarely as simple as just identifying the least expensive option.
Every business is looking for ways to win new customers and retain existing ones. To that end, they need to provide a compelling user experience and consistently push new business ideas into the market before their competitors do by running software in production in a way that is fast, secure, and scalable.
With the recent release of the VMware Customer Reliability Engineering (CRE) team’s Reliability Scanner, we wanted to take some time to expand on the namespace label check, including how labelling can be used for alert routing. The Reliability Scanner is a Sonobuoy plugin that allows an end user to include and configure a suggestive set of checks to be executed against a cluster.
vSphere with Tanzu brings together an integrated Kubernetes experience for VI admins and developers. Using vSphere as the infrastructure platform, managing the Kubernetes lifecycle becomes easier than ever. New features in vSphere with Tanzu U2 add more capabilities that make Kubernetes operations even more seamless. Let’s check it out. VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer (formerly Avi Networks) provides a highly available and scalable load balancer and container ingress services.
As organizations recognize that a digital-first, contactless customer experience model is the future, they are making a considerable push towards modernizing their applications and reducing their technical debt. There are several proven techniques they can apply in order to transform their processes, technologies, and businesses.
For all the talk of digital transformation, there’s one workflow that tends to hinder release velocity: changes to API routing rules. But while—much to the consternation of enterprise developers everywhere—this process has historically remained stubbornly ticket-based, Spring Cloud Gateway removes this bottleneck. The open source project provides a developer-friendly way to route, secure, and monitor API requests.
