Overview of Tanzu Apps CLI plug-in

This topic gives you an overview of the Tanzu Apps CLI plug-in. Use the Tanzu Apps CLI plug-in to create, view, update, and delete application workloads on any Kubernetes cluster that has the Tanzu Application Platform (commonly known as TAP) components installed.

About workloads

Tanzu Application Platform enables you to quickly build and test applications regardless of your familiarity with Kubernetes. You can turn source code into a workload that runs in a container with a URL. A workload enables you to choose application specifications, such as repository location, environment variables, and service binding.

Tanzu Application Platform can support a range of workloads, including a serverless process that starts on demand, a constellation of microservices that functions as a logical application, or a small hello-world test application.
