Develop Safe GenAI Applications with Existing Talent and Resources

VMware Tanzu Platform 10, which reduces labor and complexity for development teams while offering platform engineering teams improved governance and operational efficiency, is a cloud-native application platform that speeds up software delivery, according to Broadcom.

The business also unveiled Tanzu AI Solutions, a collection of tools within Tanzu Platform that aid in the rapid, secure, and large-scale delivery of intelligent apps driven by GenAI by application teams.

Now offering the quickest route to a fully functional private cloud with self-configuring setup and support for air-gapped environments is Tanzu Platform 10 in conjunction with VMware Cloud Foundation.  

“Business leaders want to harness the power of GenAI in their application strategy, but in many cases, they face complex challenges with this emerging technology, leading teams to create one-off experiments and silos that only add technical debt and risk,” said Purnima Padmanabhan, general manager, Tanzu Division, Broadcom. “Now, with Tanzu Platform’s built-in AI development framework, developers can build high-performing, intelligent apps, regardless of their experience level or knowledge of Python. Tanzu AI Solutions help development teams go from dabbling in the sandbox to deploying enterprise-ready intelligent applications to production with confidence.”

Cloud Native Application Delivery Is Streamlined And Expedited With The New Tanzu Platform 10

Tanzu Platform 10 offers developers and platform engineers standardized golden paths to production, building on Cloud Foundry’s methodology for speeding up application delivery.

Developers can now attach services to apps, scale apps simply, distribute code with a single command, and automate secure container builds using simple processes.

Additionally, Tanzu Platform 10 automates platform and application administration chores like rolling upgrades, patching vulnerabilities, and enforcing policies with deep visibility and AI-driven insights.

A self-managed, global control plane is provided by Tanzu Platform 10 for increased automation and visibility across all application settings. Moreover, Tanzu Platform 10 has:  

• An application-centric layer of abstraction is introduced to enable applications to run with uniform operational governance and compliance, bringing Cloud Foundry-like developer experience to Kubernetes. With the help of the abstraction model, stakeholders’ concerns will be clearly divided. Platform and operations teams will be able to concentrate on scaling infrastructure management and defining configurations to comply with organizational governance and compliance requirements, while developers will be able to concentrate on their applications without having to worry about infrastructure details.
• Improved contextual visibility from platform to platform across Kubernetes clusters or Cloud Foundry foundations across availability zones.
• Robust ‘built-in’ service binding to link applications to databases and middleware, and automatically maintain credentials and connection strings, saving a ton of time
• Spring application security, compliance audits, policy enforcement, and automated CVE remediation with new Application Advisor.
• Commercial Spring features integrated into Tanzu Platform; significantly faster startup times for Spring apps with improved Java buildpacks in Tanzu Spring. Elevated compliance enforcement and vulnerability management with Tanzu Salt.
• Hardened and auto-provisioned communications and OSS databases.

Tanzu AI Solutions in Tanzu Platform 10 helps developers build safe, scalable, enterprise-ready, GenAI applications

Tanzu Platform democratizes intelligent application development. Tanzu Platform now includes Tanzu AI Solutions, a set of capabilities that help customers develop, operate, and optimize AI-powered, intelligent applications safely, and at scale.

Tanzu AI Solutions also delivers GenAI observability and monitoring to address accuracy and performance with root cause analysis for apps and large language models (LLMs). Tanzu AI Solutions includes:

• Spring AI is an open source application framework that can be used by Java developers to build GenAI-powered features into applications. Spring AI offers developer-friendly Java APIs that can be used to access LLM models and implement higher level AI and application logic patterns. With Spring AI, Java developers can seamlessly integrate GenAI capabilities into their new or existing applications without needing to cross-train in Python.
• GenAI on Tanzu Platform is an enhanced OpenAI compatible API gateway available in Tanzu Platform which has built-in API abstraction as well as load balancing, resilience, and caching. It allows you to run or connect to 100-plus proprietary or OSS LLMs in a secure and consistent manner. Tanzu Platform brokers LLM services as with any other services like databases and enterprise APIs, allowing platform engineering to curate AI services with role-based access controls and automate secrets management away from the developer for security and resilience.
• Observability for GenAI provides increased performance and accuracy with monitoring and assessment of apps and model responses. This capability helps teams visualize, test and troubleshoot AI apps by performing model accuracy checks, and scans for hallucinations. It also monitors token usage to more easily control the costs of LLM calls.
• Support for VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA is built-in to the GenAI on Tanzu Platform service broker as ready-to-curate, drop-down selections to be made available to application teams.

Tanzu Platform 10 paired with VMware Cloud Foundation provides the fastest path to a complete private cloud

For VMware Cloud Foundation, Tanzu Platform 10 offers robust, immediately deployable advanced capabilities, such as data services and container operations, offering the quickest route to a fully private cloud.

To accelerate the delivery of modern applications on private cloud, Tanzu Platform 10 provides the following new capabilities: 

• Air-gapped environment support for off-network, self-managed, private cloud environments with a simple, self-configuring installation experience that preconfigures Tanzu Platform for VMware Cloud Foundation. With a simple CLI command, Kubernetes cluster creation and networking configuration are automated, creating a ready-to-consume private cloud developer platform.
• Global Server Load Balancing and Advanced Networking for Tanzu Platform brings new enhancements to private clouds using the VMware Avi Load Balancer, with pre-configured support in Cloud Foundry deployments for managing routing, and source-to-url dynamic networking using load balancing and dynamic DNS for Kubernetes environments.
• Hardened VM and OSS images available through the Tanzu Application Catalog are now integrated directly into Tanzu Platform hub, enabling hardened VM and OSS images to be deployed with Tanzu Platform. This enables IT operations teams to ensure that only validated, secure packaged images are deployed within their private cloud estate. This integration also brings continuous vulnerability scanning of VM and OSS images to ensure customers are running secure workloads.

Tanzu Platform with Tanzu AI Solutions delivers enhanced management and control for platform engineers, simplicity to developers and more power to the business.

Obstacles to Capitalize on GenAI Innovations

Nearly a third (29%) of all GenAI budget is allocated to creating and delivering new software-driven business offerings, according to a recent IDC study.* However, research from S&P Global Market Intelligence shows that over half (52.6%) of organizations face a shortage of technology skills in the area of AI and machine learning, creating a significant obstacle to capitalize on GenAI innovations.*
