VMware Tanzu Platform 10 Launched for Revolutionizing Cloud-Native Development with GenAI Integration

Broadcom has launched VMware Tanzu Platform 10, which accelerates cloud-native application delivery and integrates GenAI capabilities through Tanzu AI Solutions, simplifying development and enhancing operational efficiency. The platform also streamlines the creation of private clouds with new self-configuring and secure features.


28 August 2024 – Broadcom Inc. has unveiled VMware Tanzu Platform 10, a cloud-native application platform designed to expedite software delivery while enhancing governance and operational efficiency for platform engineering teams. This new release simplifies the complexities that development teams face, reducing toil and allowing them to focus on innovation. Additionally, Broadcom introduced Tanzu AI Solutions, a set of capabilities within the Tanzu Platform that empower application teams to rapidly and safely develop and deploy intelligent applications powered by generative AI (GenAI).

Tanzu Platform 10, combined with VMware Cloud Foundation, now offers the quickest route to establishing a complete private cloud, featuring a self-configuring setup experience and support for air-gapped environments. This enhancement is timely, as nearly a third of GenAI budgets are being directed toward the creation and delivery of new software-driven business offerings, according to IDC. However, a significant challenge remains: over half of organizations report a shortage of AI and machine learning skills, as noted by S&P Global Market Intelligence.

Purnima Padmanabhan, General Manager of Broadcom’s Tanzu Division, highlighted the challenges businesses face when integrating GenAI into their applications. “With Tanzu Platform’s built-in AI development framework, developers can now create high-performing, intelligent apps without needing extensive experience in AI or Python,” she said. “Tanzu AI Solutions help development teams move from experimental stages to deploying enterprise-ready applications confidently.”

Key Features of Tanzu Platform 10:

  • Simplified Cloud Native Application Delivery: Tanzu Platform 10 accelerates application deployment by automating secure container builds, service bindings, and code deployment. The platform also manages tasks such as vulnerability patching and policy enforcement with AI-powered insights.
  • Enhanced Developer and Operations Experience: The platform introduces an application-centric layer of abstraction, enabling developers to focus on applications without worrying about underlying infrastructure, while operations teams manage infrastructure at scale.
  • Built-in AI Solutions: Tanzu AI Solutions democratize the development of intelligent applications, providing tools like Spring AI for Java developers to integrate GenAI features without needing Python expertise. It also includes observability features to monitor performance and accuracy, ensuring secure and scalable AI-powered applications.
  • Private Cloud Integration: Tanzu Platform 10 offers new capabilities for private cloud environments, including support for air-gapped setups, advanced networking, and hardened VM and OSS images, enabling secure and efficient operations in off-network environments.

These enhancements underscore Broadcom’s commitment to providing innovative tools that help enterprises harness the power of GenAI and cloud-native technologies, enabling them to deliver cutting-edge applications with greater speed and security.
