Tanzu Developer Tools for Visual Studio is an official VMware Tanzu IDE extension for Visual Studio to help you develop with Tanzu Application Platform.
This plug-in extends Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 only. It is incompatible with Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio for Mac.
NoteThis extension is in the beta stage of development.
The extension has the following features:
See code updates running on-cluster in seconds
With the use of Live Update facilitated by Tilt, deploy your workload once, save changes to the code and then, seconds later, see those changes reflected in the workload running on the cluster. All Live Update output is filtered to its own output pane window within Visual Studio.
Debug workloads directly on the cluster
Debug your application in a production-like environment by debugging on a Kubernetes cluster of yours that has Tanzu Application Platform. The similarity of an environment to production relies on keeping dependencies updated, among other variables.
Deploy a workload to a Kubernetes cluster
Deploy your workload straight to your Kubernetes cluster and, after you’re finished using it, you can delete it. All the output for deleting a workload is filtered to its own output pane window within Visual Studio.
