We pair alongside your team to show you how to build, manage, and scale Kubernetes.

Every organization is different. There’s no single right answer to many technology challenges. That’s why Tanzu Labs will work with you to design, build and scale a Kubernetes-based app platform using commercial products, pure open source components, or a mix of both.

No matter your strategy, our world-class experts will help you implement and scale a production app platform that delivers enduring value for your business and a great developer experience.

“We engaged with VMware Tanzu Labs to learn how to create a developer experience and not just operate a platform.”

Miranda LeBlanc, Liberty Mutual
