Revolutionizing cloud-native apps in the era of generative AI

From the transformative power of generative AI to groundbreaking developments in silicon and middleware models, the tech landscape is experiencing unprecedented changes, setting the stage for a remarkable era of innovation.

Tanzu, a new cloud-native application developed by VMware Inc., empowers developers to easily build, deliver and operate powerful cloud-native apps across multiple clouds, even further accelerating the fantastic changes shaking up the tech industry, according to Purnima Padmanabhan (pictured), senior vice president and general manager at VMware.

“The singular goal of Tanzu is to help customers build their applications fast and deliver it to whatever cloud of their choice,” she said. “If customers choose AWS, we want to make sure that the entire development experience and the speed with which they can build applications is truly world class. Can eight months be down to eight weeks? Eight days? That is the goal in terms of building an app.”

Padmanabhan spoke with theCUBE industry analyst John Furrier at the “Supercloud 5: The Battle for AI Supremacy” event, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed Tanzu, the reorganization of VMware into four divisions and the convergence of platform and data engineering.

The core of Tanzu is the application platform, a Kubernetes-based application platform that allows users to curate a beautiful developer experience and accelerate build paths, according to Padmanabhan. Another massive component of Tanzu is the application services, a Cloud-Foundry-based platform that enables developers to rapidly build their applications.

“Last year we introduced this notion of an all-knowing hub which knows your state of the multicloud universe. Now that is rebranded to Tanzu Hub,” Padmanabhan explained. “What Tanzu Intelligence does is for all the applications that you build, it delivers the ability to manage cost, performance and security of the application, from when you’re defining the application to when it is operating and running in your environment.”

When applications are built, developers frequently must switch between different information sources to gather the correct data and understand the performance of an application. The Tanzu Hub enables developers to access all this information in one place.

“We were able to launch and explore the Tanzu Intelligent Assist, which is our generative AI-based assistant,” Padmanabhan said. “Similar to the launches you’re seeing here today, where you can have a conversation with this assistant about your application — ‘What is my application that needs support? What, where am I running into problems? How do I optimize my cost?’ — you’re having a conversation with the system and the system tells you what to do.”

Another key discussion point: the divergence of platform and data engineering. Developers should have access to a streamlined platform that integrates all essential tools for creating applications with generative AI, a platform that is both efficient and predominantly geared toward platform engineering teams, according to Padmanabhan.

“Now developers can say, ‘Hey, platform engineering team, use Tanzu,'” Padmanabhan said. “‘Then instead of taking eight weeks to deploy my code, you can do it in eight minutes or in eight days.’”

VMware causes Blue Screen on Windows 11/10

If VMware is causing a Blue Screen error on Windows 11/10, the following tips could be handy for you. There are different reasons why your host computer fails to load the VMware virtual machine. This article explains some of the most common causes and solutions to mitigate this issue within moments.

If VMware causes a Blue Screen on Windows 11/10, follow these steps:

To know more about these steps, continue reading.

It is probably the very first thing you need to check. There could be times when VMware might fail to make your virtual machine up and running due to a glitch or bug. If you have recently updated your VMware app, it might come with a bug that could cause the aforementioned issue.

In most cases, companies recognize the bug and roll out an update almost immediately. If the same thing happens with your VMware installation, chances are they have already released an update. That is why it is recommended to check the official statement and install the update if anything has been released.

Although the official statement says something about the 1.3GHz processor and 2GB of RAM, you might not be able to run a virtual machine smoothly or at all, having such resources. It is always recommended to configure much better hardware than the mentioned one.

If you have an old x64 architecture, you might not be able to run VMware virtual machines. In other words, there is a high chance of getting the blue screen error on the host computer while running the virtual OS. That is why it is recommended to have a better hardware configuration to bypass the BSOD

Pro tip: You can open Task Manager alongside VMware to check which app is consuming more RAM and other resources. Then, you can close such unnecessary apps to assign more CPU resources to VMware.

Hyper-V is a Level 1 hypervisor that makes the host computer into a virtual PC. On the other hand, VMware is a Level 2 hypervisor that uses the host computer to build the virtual machine. That is why if you enabled Hyper-V earlier, you might not be able to use VMware or VirtualBox-like virtual machine apps simultaneously. You must disable either of them. In other words, if you want to use VMware, you need to disable Hyper-V.

To disable Hyper-V in Windows 11/10, do the following:

Once done, you will be able to use VMware without any BSOD.

Many people often use multiple virtual machine apps, such as VirtualBox, VMware, etc., simultaneously. In most situations, such workflow might cause a blue screen error on your computer. That is why it is recommended to disable other virtual machine software. For that purpose, you can take the help of the Task Manager to terminate all the dependencies.

If VMware causes a blue screen while installing the virtual machine OS, it is suggested to download the ISO file again. If the ISO comes with some corrupt files, there is a chance of getting BSOD while using that ISO in the virtual machine. You can follow this guide to download Windows 11/10 ISO directly.

Yes, VMware can cause BSOD on Windows 11/10 PC. As said earlier, there could be countless reasons why you might get a blue screen error due to having VMware on your computer. For your information, some common reasons are mentioned in this article, and it is recommended to follow them to get rid of this issue.

Yes, VMware is compatible with Windows 11. If you have successfully installed Windows 11 without compromising the official system requirements, you can easily install VMware on your computer. As per the official statement, VMware requires a minimum of 2GB RAM along with 1.3GHz clock speed. On the other hand, it runs on almost all the x64 architecture without any problem.
