Tanzu adoption options
At the time of writing, most of the products discussed in this book are standalone and can be consumed with à la carte pricing. However, VMware has bundled them together to provide a simplified and more cost-effective adoption experience. The following is the list of the bundles presently available that enterprises may choose from.
Tanzu Standard
This is the smallest commercially available Tanzu bundle to provide the minimal tools to deploy a multi-cloud Kubernetes platform. It mainly includes Tanzu Kubernetes Grid with essential capabilities of Tanzu Mission Control. Tanzu Standard also includes another flavor of Kubernetes offering that is specific to vSphere. Here, Kubernetes is integrated inside vSphere to make its adoption simpler for the virtual infrastructure admins to get a good understanding of the vSphere ecosystem.
