On June 4, 2021 VMware Tanzu Mission Control (TMC) has become available to our VCPP Cloud Provider. It is a quite exciting news to many of our Managed Service Providers that are trying to offer Kubernetes added services across Multi-Cloud.

Tanzu Mission Control will help unlocks new opportunities for VMware cloud providers to offer Kubernetes (K8s) managed services for a multi-cloud. TMC can manage multi-tenant K8s clusters created on VMware Cloud Director (VCD) in addition to any CNCF conformant K8s clusters on public clouds as well. This includes the native K8s implementation at hyperscaler such as EKS, AKS, and GKE.

Here is a summary of the top features TMC will help our VMware Cloud Providers offer to their tenants:

• Cluster lifecycle management: Provision, scale, upgrade and delete Tanzu Kubernetes Grid clusters via Tanzu Mission Control across environments.
• Attaching clusters: Attach any conformant Kubernetes clusters running in other environments—either on-prem or in public clouds—to Tanzu Mission Control for centralized management.
• Centralized policy management: Apply consistent policies, such as access, security, and even custom policies to a fleet of clusters and namespaces at scale.
• Observability and diagnostics: Gain global observability of the health of clusters and workloads across clouds for quick diagnostics and troubleshooting.
