Take Command of Every Kubernetes Cluster Across Every Cloud
Enterprises are enthusiastic about Kubernetes, and it’s not hard to see why—according to our research, early adopters are driving greater resource efficiency and shortening development cycles.
To realize that potential, you need a partner that can help you get started with Kubernetes in your existing environment and offer the flexibility to operate across multi-cloud environments. You need the cloud independence, consistency and confidence offered by VMware.
Why VMware for Kubernetes?
Enable Developer Self-Service on Any Infrastructure
Move away from ticket-based systems and empower developers to access resources on demand through the native Kubernetes API.
Automate Operations Across Clouds
Move to declarative, API-based workflows for consistent day 2 management of clusters running on vSphere, in public clouds and at the edge.
Enforce Security and Compliance Policies
Ensure that both your infrastructure and the workloads deployed on it are secure and ready for production.
Maintain Cloud Optionality
Need to migrate applications or data to another cloud? With VMware Tanzu, you can ensure your workloads are all backed up and fully portable.
Boost Application Resiliency and Availability
Configure and manage deployment environments that span multiple clouds, so that your developers can deliver more resilient applications.
Align With a Global Open-Source Community
Run your business on industry-leading open-source technologies and benefit from the innovation and support of the Kubernetes ecosystem.
Capitalize on Kubernetes
Start with Your Existing vSphere Infrastructure
The vast majority of enterprise workloads already run on vSphere. Now those workloads can benefit from Kubernetes’ APIs and efficiencies without you having to write any code or integrate any new technologies. vSphere with Kubernetes includes VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid as an embedded Kubernetes runtime that enables you to provision clusters right from vCenter.
