Automation isn't just a buzzword—it's becoming the cornerstone of enterprise technology strategy. This conversation with Bert, who leads Tanzu's product management at Broadcom, reveals how VMware's cloud automation vision is transforming from aspiration to reality.
At the heart of this transformation is a refreshingly simple philosophy: developers should be able to say, "Here's my code, here's my intent, please make it happen." The Tanzu division delivers on this promise by handling all the complexity—no Terraform templates to configure, no cluster tinkering required. Just pure, intent-driven deployment that automatically builds in high availability, encryption, and best practices.
The recent release of VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 marks a significant milestone, consolidating management tools with compute, networking, and storage capabilities. Tanzu serves as the "push-button accessory" that brings platform-as-a-service capabilities directly to VCF customers. Through comprehensive dashboards and policy-setting tools, IT leaders maintain visibility and control while empowering development teams.
Perhaps most exciting is the evolution from what Bert calls "cloud native" to "AI native" applications. This shift focuses on connecting AI-driven workloads and agents to enterprise data in a governed, secure manner. Tanzu's approach to breaking down application and data silos—through services management and data modernization—positions organizations to leverage their collective knowledge and resources more effectively than ever before.
Whether you're looking to accelerate business velocity, simplify operations, or prepare for an AI-powered future, this episode offers practical insights into how automation is reshaping enterprise technology. Listen now to understand how your organization can benefit from Broadcom's vision for modern cloud infrastructure.
