We pair alongside your team to show you how to build, manage, and scale VMware Tanzu.
Treat the platform as a product
Your platform isn’t an off-the-shelf piece of software; it should respond to the needs of your developers. By treating the platform as a product, the product is never “done,” allowing it to evolve to meet changing business needs.
Create a dedicated Platform Team
Empower a small team to build and run VMware Tanzu. With a PM and at least two engineers, the Platform Team has the authority to change both the production process and the platform itself—and can scale future DevOps initiatives.
Define a new path to production
Focus on velocity first. Once stakeholders identify the initial set of applications that go onto the platform, you can gradually make progress towards apps with a larger set of requirements.
Our services
Your customers demand a seamless experience, and we can help you provide it. Shorten your product development lifecycle and deliver high-quality software that solves real problems—and learn to do it consistently, efficiently, and cost-effectively.
Navigator
Turn your Kubernetes goals into a plan of action and a design that can be implemented in production. We’ll research and test your hypotheses around user needs, business goals, and technical feasibility.
Platform Deployment
We’ll help you identify the platforms you want to build and offer to users. We’ll install, configure, integrate, and extend VMware Tanzu or another Kubernetes platform in your environment.
Platform Extension
Make changes to your VMware Tanzu or another Kubernetes platform, extending it to achieve your business objectives. Where appropriate, we’ll make open-source contributions.
Platform Management
We’ll teach you to run your platform, patching and updating it in alignment with your availability objectives. We can be responsible for 24/7 incident response while your team focuses on other needs. Or we can teach your team to perform incident response.
Continuous Delivery
Optimize your path to production and improve app lifecycle management in all environments. We’ll help you build or adapt existing CI/CD pipelines, providing you with enhanced security, compliance and consistency through automation.
Platform Governance
Prioritize platform feature delivery while achieving your security and compliance objectives. Together, we’ll internally market your VMware Tanzu or another Kubernetes platform to acquire users and workloads and build a super-user community. Our experts pair with your people to establish and enable your dedicated Platform Team.
Health Check
A 360-degree assessment of your platform health, ensuring that the dedicated people in your Platform Team and the VMware Tanzu technology can provide mission-critical services to your customers. We’ll build a plan for continued refinement, identifing opportunities for improvement of people, process, application/platform design and technology to support you in getting the best results from your platform.
“The team used to take seven months and 72 steps to release new code. Now they’re fixing bugs same-day with zero downtime. The [Platform engagement] provided a place to practice shared responsibility, which made it real.”
