VMware Tanzu Platform Likes & Dislikes

Tanzu Application Service, in particular, excels at streamlining the developer experience for application deployments and maintenance. Much of the complexity is abstracted behind the magic of cf push. I also appreciate VMware's willingness to consider feature enhancements. They have been an open book regarding the platform and future roadmaps.

The service is focused on cloud native workload and there metrics/traces and has a very clear and intuitive UI. It also provides some built-in dashboards to get started quickly

I liked the ability to simplify Kubernetes management at scale. It offers strong automation with integrated observability. It also offers modern flexibility across multi-cloud environments, making it an easy choice for organizations embracing cloud-native strategies.

-We manage multiple regional TAS foundations. This can be a challenge for operational support since users often need to monitor applications across multiple foundations. A single-pane-of-glass hub is planned according to recent conversations. - The TAS Apps Manager and Ops Manager components are due for a modernization refresh. VMware has shared significant improvements in this area for upcoming releases. - Unification between Tanzu Application Service and Tanzu Application Platform. It's often confusing when talking about the Kubernetes platforms, which are independent solutions. Clarifying or potentially unifying these platforms would be beneficial for new customers interested in adopting.

- quite costly - not open source - no wide adoption

Integrating with existing CI/CD pipelines can be complex and time-consuming, especially for non-engineers. requires a dedicated training to fully leverage advanced features like Tanzu Mission Control and Application Services.
