VMware Tanzu for Kubernetes Operations is the foundation for building a modern container infrastructure at scale across all your clouds.

Tanzu for Kubernetes Operations allows operations teams to:

• Automate creation of Complaint Kubernetes Clusters across Multiple Clouds via Tanzu Standard runtime (includes TKG runtime + supported OSS add-ons)
• Enables Application Development teams self-service access to the Kubernetes API authenticated via Enterprise Identity using Tanzu Mission Control
• Provides Operations teams automation to apply blanket Security policies to a fleet of clusters across multiple-clouds. Policies can be around container images, network, pod security or custom via Tanzu Mission Control
• Ability to centrally monitor Kubernetes platform and application metrics using Tanzu Observability
• Enable mTLS be default on all the services created using Tanzu Service Mesh
• Help teams architect solutions using Tanzu Lab Services

When using the walkthrough, please do NOT create more than 1 Tanzu Kubernetes Cluster.

Also, we encourage everyone to use the My Documents folder located on the VMware Tanzu Horizon Desktop to store yaml files and container images. This folder is persistent which means that users can retrieve their stored application data across multiple sessions.
