vSphere+ and vSAN+ Are Now Available!
Last month, VMware announced the transformation of two of our largest revenue-generating products – vSphere+ and vSAN+ – into cloud-connected, subscription-based offerings, delivering the benefits of cloud to on-premises workloads. This is a milestone release of our flagship product and represents the evolution from vSphere as a hypervisor, to vSphere as a modern workload platform. For customers, this is a paradigm shift in how you build, run, manage, and secure apps to drive the next phase of your growth. There are several ways to learn more including a virtual briefing video, technical deep dive blog, and new cloud infrastructure page.

Developer Connect – Philadelphia
Enhancing the Developer Experience:
Unlock developer productivity and user experience with a Kubernetes abstraction layer that enables faster, more secure app design, development, and delivery. Join VMware Tanzu for a hands-on workshop that abstracts away the individual components in the DevSecOps toolchain and leverage these techniques in building, testing, verifying, deploying, and operating applications.
The Workshop Experience:
- Jumpstart app development: Use preconfigured cloud native pattern templates to bootstrap new applications.
- Boost developer velocity: Get a consistent GUI to bring services and APIs together in one management portal.
- Empower developers: Quickly get started with preconfigured templates for cloud native patterns.
- Speed up the path to production and automate app deployment: Secure software supply chains with automated, out-of-the-box app deployment. Modify workshop application and observe the power of the supply chain so you can automatically rebuild, update, and deploy the application.
- Explore Data Services: Discover, curate, consume, and manage backing services across single or multi-cluster environments.

Achieve Full-Stack Observability for TKO Deployments Webinar
Digital transformation is resulting in organizations creating modern, multi-cloud container infrastructures and modernize their applications. As applications scale quickly to meet the needs of millions of users in milliseconds, they span multiple containers across multiple hosts. Operating containers in real-time at this magnitude can create massive complexity and observability challenges.
Join this webinar for a demonstration on how VMware Observability provides real-time, automated, full-stack observability to Kubernetes. This provides a complete picture of all the information necessary for increasing performance and improving the stability and resiliency of applications, the Kubernetes components, and the underlying infrastructure.
DevX: What we can learn from User-Centered Design on Technical Products Webinar
User-centered design practices revolutionized the way we built software products. We put users at the forefront of our product decision making process allowing us to create products that were not only feasible (met technical needs) and viable (met business needs) but also desirable (met user needs). However, when it comes to building technical products where developers are our users (i.e., APIs), these important lessons are often forgotten.
Join us to learn about:
- Why DevX is important
- Common fallacies like:
- My user is my “end user”
- We are developers like our users so we know what they want
- Build it and they will use it
- How to apply UCD tools when working with technical products
VMware Application Catalog now Integrated into VMware Marketplace Webinar
Since its general availability in March 2020, VMware Application Catalog has had success with hundreds of customers due to its unique DevSecOps approach that caters to the needs of developers and IT operators alike. It offers a library of prepackaged, validated, production-ready open source images, and this catalog is now available for access through VMware Marketplace – VMware’s one-stop shop for all third party and open-source solutions. Join us live on this webinar with VMware Application Catalog and VMware Marketplace experts to learn what this user interface integration means for your enterprise.
Why You Should Treat Your Platform as a Product Webinar
Ops groups cannot give developers what they need when they are limited by traditional service delivery mindsets and tools. Stability and reliability are however now table stakes when you are releasing software daily.
What developers need from Ops is innovation. Traditionally, Ops rarely adopted an innovation-driven, product approach to providing services and instead focused on delivering to specifications and limiting SLAs. As with development however, Ops can create value with continuous operations, by product managing their platforms and releasing frequently.
In this talk we look at how Ops groups are increasingly transforming from a service delivery mindset to a platform-as-a-product approach:
- Operational concepts, technologies and tools commonly used
- Key tactics needed to kick off a platform-as-a-product strategy
- Use Cases from Discover Financial Services, Rabobank, the U.S. Air Force and more
