Tanzu – what are all these different offerings?
Tanzu….there are 9 offerings under Tanzu.
Just like vRealize, which has 10+ offerings….
So, how to break down all the terminology, the software and the what works with what?

One of the best breakdowns of the Tanzu portfolio I’ve seen…
(definitely helps with all the renaming of Tanzu over the past year)
vCenter 7.0.2 Update2a Released
Adding the new VM Service & VM Operator, which enable VM provisions via vSphere with Tanzu.
Mostly bug fixes, and vSphere with Tanzu capabilities.
Release Notes are here.
ESXi 7.0.2 Update2a Released
Bug fixes, for the most part.
Release Notes are here.
VM Provisioning via Kubernetes
This will build upon Image Library (Content Library), new ways to have template VMs, and have declarative VM deployments.
While this is an alpha release (meaning bugs exist), this will become an expected service in vSphere.

Still need to download this, even with vROPs 8.4….

Nutanix Terraform Provider
A nice quick way to get started with the Nutanix Terraform Provider.
Even if you don’t REALLY know how to use Terraform yet, this gives you just enough to get going (and be dangerous).
