VMware Tanzu Platform 10 Is Here: Advancing the GenAI Future

VMware Tanzu Platform 10, a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) environment that integrates Cloud Foundry and Kubernetes, has been a highly anticipated step forward in the application modernization world. With a newly unified developer experience, IT teams can achieve faster deployments and enhanced generative AI capabilities—both of which can unlock a competitive edge.

The promise of this platform is tremendous. Fresh off its public launch, we’ve analyzed the implications of its features and capabilities for organizations looking to future-proof their infrastructure and leverage GenAI.

What to Expect from VMware Tanzu Platform 10

As technology becomes central to business operations, strong developer velocity has become a key indicator of high shareholder returns, large operating margins, and greater innovation. That’s why we’re excited to see VMware Tanzu Platform 10 reduce friction in the development process.

The new platform maximizes return on investment (ROI) by providing multi-cloud and polyglot (multiple programming languages) support—all under one roof. In particular, we expect the simplification of Kubernetes, which enables greater customization than Cloud Foundry, to unlock flexibility and portability for teams that previously shied away from its complexity.

Tanzu Platform 10’s measurable impact is expected to include:

• An up to 70% reduction in infrastructure footprint: The minimum number of virtual machines required has decreased from 13 to four, enabling more cost-effective deployments.
• A 30% faster launch time for Spring applications: Users can seamlessly leverage class data sharing (CDS) to minimize Java startup times, then reduce post-startup memory consumption by 15%.
• A 15% increase in infrastructure savings: The platform leverages OpenTelemetry infrastructure to reduce the space and processing power required for logs and metrics.

Essentially, companies can now achieve more streamlined deployments and continual optimization for improved security, customer experience, and cost-efficiency.

How VMware Tanzu Platform 10 Will Support Generative AI

Perhaps the most exciting aspect of Platform 10 is the built-in support for VMware Tanzu AI Solutions. This set of tools, which provides end-to-end features for developing intelligent applications, will increase the accessibility of advanced GenAI capabilities. For example, Tanzu Platform 10 delivers APIs that bridge the gap between frequently Python-based large language models (LLMs) and Java-based enterprise apps. Learning a new language will not be necessary for Java development teams.

VMware Tanzu Platform 10 is also expected to enhance LLM security. IT teams will gain greater access controls, GPU infrastructure, data management, and GenAI testing capabilities, making the environment especially valuable for the many businesses shifting toward private AI.

Additionally, the cost-efficiency of Tanzu Platform 10 is primed to minimize computing power. Since AI in software development has grown ubiquitous, the price of hefty workloads has quickly grown—and this environment could be key to minimizing expenses.
