Each deployable solution on VMware Marketplace is validated. Validated solutions are technical validated implementations built and tested by VMware and VMware Partners.

Solutions are validated through VMware's Platform Validation pipeline, which keeps the solutions up to date with the underlying VMware product. Each deployable solution will have a badge that endorses its certification and validation. If you hover over the badge, the tooltip indicates whether the solution is VMware Ready or Partner Ready for a particular VMware product. For example, if a solution's badge reads "Partner Ready Tanzu", it means that the solution has been validated by VMware for Tanzu.
