As state and local governments embrace the digital age, harnessing the potential of cloud technology becomes paramount for driving transformative change in their operations.
In this pursuit of modernization, VMware Tanzu emerges as a powerful tool, offering three compelling ways to enhance the cloud experience for governmental entities. By streamlining application development, automating platform operations, and centralizing multi-cloud governance, Tanzu presents a dynamic solution tailored to the unique challenges faced by state and local governments.
In this blog, we delve into three use cases of VMware Tanzu, exploring how it can revolutionize the cloud landscape and empower governments to deliver improved services and a seamless user experience to constituents.
Streamline Application Development
Developers need to be able to focus on getting their code working in production, as opposed to spending time on packaging, security, or infrastructure, or trying to figure out Kubernetes. Ultimately, your agency needs faster, more secure paths to production.
VMware Tanzu offers a better developer experience for building and deploying software quickly and securely on any compliant public cloud or on-premises Kubernetes cluster securely on any compliant public cloud or on-premises Kubernetes cluster. Developers can access preconfigured cloud native app templates to jumpstart development along with a rich set of developer tooling for rapid iteration. Developers can also maintain visibility of applications at runtime to troubleshoot and improve applications.
For your agency or department, this can mean:
- Consistent delivery and deployment of apps: Reduce friction and streamline path to production with out-of-the-box configuration and repeatable best practices that are supported by I/O, security, and platform teams.
- Improved developer experience: With preconfigured templates for cloud native patterns, your developers can overcome complexity.
- Continuous security of apps: Ensure secure software supply chains with continuous vulnerability scanning, container image verification at time of build, and pre-set policy enforcement.
Automate Kubernetes Platform Operations
Managing separate cloud environments can be a heavy lift and even unscalable at times, especially as more development teams start to use Kubernetes platforms.
VMware Tanzu provides a set of capabilities that empower your platform operations teams to provision, manage, connect, secure, and observe a multi-cloud Kubernetes platform. From a centralized management hub, your team can manage security and access policies for all compliant Kubernetes distributions. You can also gather and analyze platform and application metrics to proactively detect and fix anomalies, as well as fine tune your infrastructure and applications for best performance.
The benefits to your agency or department include:
- Consistent cluster lifecycle management: Simplify container provisioning, management, monitoring, and observability by providing consistent and scalable management across clouds.
- Strengthen security and compliance: Deliver secure, end-to-end connectivity to all your apps and platforms for improved compliance.
- Optimize Kubernetes operations: Centrally manage, automate, and monitor diverse Kubernetes distributions and operations across any cloud, for any cluster type, by many teams for increased ROI.
Centralize Multi-Cloud Governance and Policy
Tools like VMware Aria complement VMware Tanzu by providing a single platform unifying performance, configuration, and delivery automation to optimize your business outcomes for any cloud, platform, tool, and persona. This tool is built to address the scale and speed that cloud native applications need.
For your agency or department, this means:
- Centralized multi-cloud policy management: Define and deploy guardrail templates for any cloud with consistent experience.
- Automatically detect drifts and violations: Gain full visibility into cloud environments, continuously monitor, and detect drifts and violations from your desired state.
- Continuous compliance enforcement: Enforce desired state to ensure continuous compliance, automating drift and violation remediation.
As state and local governments embark on their digital transformation journeys, the successful adoption of modern cloud technology becomes an indispensable catalyst for driving profound operational improvements.
In this pursuit, VMware Tanzu emerges as a powerful and dynamic solution, offering three key ways to elevate the cloud experience for governmental entities. By streamlining application development, automating platform operations, and centralizing multi-cloud governance, Tanzu equips governments with the tools they need to deliver enhanced services and a seamless user experience to their constituents. Not to mention making the lives of their IT, development, and security teams much easier.
Through consistent delivery and deployment of applications, improved developer experiences, and continuous security measures, Tanzu empowers agencies to navigate the complexities of cloud-native landscapes with ease. Moreover, with centralized platform management and automated compliance enforcement, Tanzu optimizes operations and strengthens security across multiple cloud environments. Embracing VMware Tanzu enables state and local governments to unlock the full potential of cloud technology, paving the way for a future of innovation and efficiency.
