If you are a cloud native practitioner today, or if you aspire to become one, you can use Tanzu Community Edition and the community resources that surround it to help you build your skills and experience. But technology itself is not enough-even great technology goes nowhere without developers, infrastructure and platform operators, site reliability engineers, and others who have the knowledge and skills needed to use it. That’s why, of course, we created VMware Tanzu. We all know that the world is moving to cloud native infrastructure built on and around Kubernetes. It has allowed us to use our local workstations to integrate Tanzu into our development flow in a way that will match the production workflows in our commercially supported Tanzu environment.” What’s going on here? As a developer, I especially like that I can use it on my local workstation. Tanzu Community Edition is making it very easy and cost effective for us to do that. “We are still in the early stages of our Kubernetes adoption, which means we are doing a lot of experimenting and learning about what it can do and how to use it. Scott Brandhuber, senior analyst and development team lead with Alabama State University, is one of those people. We’ve been sharing Tanzu Community Edition for a few weeks now with a small group of folks. But first, let’s get some outside perspective. This release is big news for us, and exciting news for you too! You can now easily access a full-featured, easy-to-manage Kubernetes platform that’s perfect for users and learners alike.Īs the leader of the Tanzu Community Edition engineering team and head of the Tanzu team’s cloud native community engagement efforts, I am thrilled to share some insights about the new offering and community with you. Just this morning we released VMware Tanzu Community Edition, a freely available, community-supported, open source distribution of VMware Tanzu that you can install and configure in minutes on your local workstation or your favorite cloud. It’s a day we’ve long been looking forward to, and a day that we’d like to celebrate with you. Today is a big day for the Tanzu team at VMware.
