VMware DevSecOps Self-Guided Tour

The Tanzu platform provides developers deploying code the ability to deliver more secure software to end users at a faster pace. Implemented DevSecOps practices improve automated tooling so security vulnerabilities are fixed more quickly, ensuring only secure and reliable code is sent to production. Tanzu delivers secure software supply chains by addressing five areas of concern that allow developers to integrate security into their processes and mitigate software supply chain attacks. Firstly, the Tanzu Application Platform includes application accelerators that provide guardrails for developers to ensure security and compliance. Secondly, the Tanzu Application Catalog provides an extensive library of open source software components and buildpacks to manage app dependencies. Thirdly, a deploy time policy allows application operators to introduce policy into the supply chain to block any unsigned images and secure CI/CD systems. Fourthly, Tanzu Build Service reduces time to remediate CVEs at scale by automatically patching images when their dependencies fall out of date. Finally, Tanzu Kubernetes Grid and Tanzu Mission Control provide developers with access to preconfigured clusters that meet compliance and security requirements, securing workloads, microservices, APIs and data in transit.

Tanzu Platform Spring Essentials

Tanzu Spring Runtime provides 24/7/365 support from Spring experts for your entire stack for at least 12 months beyond the open source support date. During those 12 additional months of support, regular, scheduled releases give you access to patches, security fixes, and dependency updates so you can upgrade on your timeline, not ours. Spring support is provided by the same engineering team that wrote the open source frameworks you know and love, keeping backward compatibility and future-proofing top of mind, a benefit that only Tanzu by Broadcom can provide. Apache Tomcat support is provided by the top committers on the open source project with those same concerns covered. Java is supported by Bellsoft’s Liberica OpenJDK distribution, a leading OpenJDK distribution. No one else in the industry can offer support with the level of expertise on Spring environments that Tanzu Spring Runtime does.

On top of best-in-class support, Tanzu Spring Runtime also provides a collection of enterprise features that let you take full advantage of the Spring ecosystem:

  • Spring Cloud Data Flow for Kubernetes enables the management of distributed streaming and batch-processing workloads on Kubernetes.
  • Spring Cloud Gateway for Kubernetes is a developer-focused application gateway that enables the ability to route APIs and address cross-cutting concerns, such as security, monitoring and metrics, and others.
  • API Portal enables API consumers to find and try APIs by integrating with OpenAPI documentation from source URLs.

Benefits:

  • Extend Support
  • Spring LTS Releases
  • Access to Binary Downloads
  • Automatic Upgrade Capabilities

Tanzu Platform for Kubernetes

Tanzu Application Platform (TAP) is a modular, application-aware platform that runs on any compliant public cloud or on-premises Kubernetes cluster. It delivers a superior multi-cloud developer experience with a prepaved path to production including all the needed components preconfigured for developer teams to build and deploy software quickly and securely. It’s a composable platform that teams can customize based on their organization’s preferences and changing business needs.

Tanzu Application Platform works across any Kubernetes to simplify the developer and operator experience. It provides an ideal end-to-end, streamlined DevOps experience so teams can:

  • Jumpstart application development. Developers get a sane starting place for their cloud native apps with application accelerators. These templates include skeleton code, configurations, and cloud native patterns combined with an organization’s best practices and security policies.
  • Boost developer velocity. Developers get a consistent graphical user interface (GUI) to underlining services and APIs, making them easy to discover and integrate with other apps. Developers can work right in their integrated development environment (IDE) with Tanzu Application Platform developer tools. They can debug a running container on any Kubernetes cluster (running locally or on a managed Kubernetes cluster) and quickly update code in a running container, enabling them to quickly test and iterate.
  • Accelerate the path to production. No more “wall of YAML” for deploying apps to Kubernetes. Operators can use the Supply Chain Choreographer to create preapproved paths to production and can customize it to bring their own opinions to meet business needs. In addition, the build service uses Cloud Native Build packs to automatically create containers from validated building blocks and update them with no manual intervention. All of this reduces friction for developers and enables a stronger security posture.

Benefits:

  • Increased Developer Productivity
  • Platform-as-a-Service for Kubernetes
  • App Modernization and Legacy App Migration
  • Data Security, Compliance, and Process Automation
