VMware Tanzu Application Platform (informally known as TAP) is a packaged set of components that helps developers and operators to more easily build, deploy, and manage apps on a Kubernetes platform.
VMware Tanzu Application Platform provides development teams a pre-paved path to production to get code running on any compliant public cloud or on-premises Kubernetes cluster, enabling security and scale. It is an application-aware platform that is modular so teams can customize it based on their organization’s preferences.
