Tanzu Automation provides essential building blocks for automating the installation and upgrades of platform foundations and services. Platform engineers can realize the benefits of small, constant platform upgrades—and significantly reduce risk, streamline upgrading, and improve stability.

Improve platform health and stability

Upgrade swiftly and incrementally. By automatically applying each patch, upgrades are easier and safer—plus you gain confidence in your platform. You can also apply updates during regular business hours. Less toil, less stress.

Stay ahead of security threats

Keep up with regular security updates to reduce your exposure to new threats. “Repave” your environment from the updated state to remove any persistent threats that might have infiltrated your servers. Become a security hero by proactively fighting bad actors.

Keep developers continuously delivering

Empower your developers with the most up-to-date platform features and services. Keep them happy and productive—and continuously delivering new features your customers love.

Platform Automation Overview

Tanzu is always improving—whether it’s through a major new release, incremental enhancements, or the latest security fix. Keeping up with all these new capabilities can be tricky, especially when you’re running at scale.

Tanzu Automation is purpose-built to simplify how platform teams automate regular platform updates, reducing the time required to stay current. Through repeatable, reusable building blocks, you gain confidence in your upgrade protocol and can scale upgrades to support the enterprise.

More about Platform Automation

How It Works

Tanzu Automation consists of Concourse tasks: building blocks that perform small, defined actions for interacting with OpsManager. The Platform Automation tasks are:

  • Legible. Use human-readable YAML files that can be edited and managed.
  • Modular. Each task has defined inputs and outputs that perform granular actions.
  • Built for automation. Tasks are idempotent. Rerunning them in a continuous integration (CI) tool won't break builds.

Tanzu Automation is distributed via Network and fully supported by Tanzu. For detailed instructions on getting started and building your automation pipeline, see the documentation.
