The new approach in container-based development

Many business-critical applications now run outside of the public cloud. According to Cloudflight data, 60 to 80 percent of these apps run in a private cloud or on-premises servers. On the other hand, modernizing old applications and moving them to the cloud stands out as a significant trend. When the development processes of applications designed to run in the cloud, called cloud-native, are added, the migration to the cloud and completing the digital transformation takes a lot of effort and time for IT teams and developers. However, solutions such as VMware Tanzu can make these processes more manageable.

The VMware Tanzu product line offers a comprehensive solution for modern applications. Supporting IT teams and developers in various areas and application scenarios with Kubernetes Grid, Mission Control, and Application Catalog products, Tanzu also accelerates business processes.

VMware Tanzu, offered with the consultancy of Netaş experts, provides an effective solution for application modernization with its advanced features for product development in the cloud environment.
