So Much... #Tanzu & Finally vSphere 7 with Kubernetes

This last year has been an incredible rollercoaster for Cloud Native at VMware; Having been part of this journey since conception back in 2014 it’s fair to say I’m beyond excited to see the emergence of vSphere 7 with Kubernetes ; Having been running pre-GA code in my home lab for the last few months I’m very much looking forward to sharing my experiences and showing off a few demo apps and services running on the new platform. ( come back soon for those blogs ).

In the meantime here is a rollup of all the various launch announcements both for vSphere 7 and everything supporting and wrapping around the platform alongside some great additional learning material from Frank and others.
