DevSecOps in Practice with VMware Tanzu

By: Parth Pandit, Robert Hardt

Overview of this book

As Kubernetes (or K8s) becomes more prolific, managing large clusters at scale in a multi-cloud environment becomes more challenging – especially from a developer productivity and operational efficiency point of view. DevSecOps in Practice with VMware Tanzu addresses these challenges by automating the delivery of containerized workloads and controlling multi-cloud Kubernetes operations using Tanzu tools. This comprehensive guide begins with an overview of the VMWare Tanzu platform and discusses its tools for building useful and secure applications using the App Accelerator, Build Service, Catalog service, and API portal. Next, you’ll delve into running those applications efficiently at scale with Tanzu Kubernetes Grid and Tanzu Application Platform. As you advance, you’ll find out how to manage these applications, and control, observe, and connect them using Tanzu Mission Control, Tanzu Observability, and Tanzu Service Mesh. Finally, you’ll explore the architecture, capabilities, features, installation, configuration, implementation, and benefits of these services with the help of examples. By the end of this VMware book, you’ll have gained a thorough understanding of the VMWare Tanzu platform and be able to efficiently articulate and solve real-world business problems.

Understanding the Need to Move to a Cloud Platform

Welcome! If you have any connection to delivering software at scale in the enterprise, we hope this book will be beneficial to you. In this first chapter, we’ll establish the context in which a product such as VMware Tanzu could emerge. We’ll do this with a walk-through of the evolution of enterprise software over the last 20 years covering the major milestones, inflection points, and problems that surfaced along the way.

Then, once we have established the necessary context, we can give a 10,000-foot overview of Tanzu covering the tools, benefits, and features. And finally, we’ll set you up for success by covering some of the technical prerequisites you should have in place if you want to engage with any of the hands-on content in this book.

In this chapter, we will cover the following:

  • The challenges of running a software supply chain
  • The emergence of the cloud and containers
  • Kubernetes
  • Outcome-driven approach
  • The need for VMware Tanzu
