Broadcom and Canonical Partner to Fast-track and Secure Containerized Workload Deployments on VMware Cloud Foundation

A survey on the State of Developers found that most developers spend roughly one day each week tackling development and IT inefficiencies 1. This is way too much overhead for an organization’s most important source of innovation. That’s why we are very excited about the newly expanded partnership between Broadcom and Canonical announced today at Explore 2025 in Las Vegas that will power high velocity, no friction containerized workload deployments on VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF). It brings together the #1 Private Cloud platform with the #1 Cloud OS to help customers who are building Kubernetes-based modern applications streamline support, improve developer efficiency, manage security risks, and simplify AI workload deployment. VCF 9. 0 delivers a unified, AI-ready private cloud platform to manage traditional as well as modern containerized applications. Customers get a unified cloud experience reducing friction and significantly increasing developer productivity and experience. This partnership will further streamline the deployment of container-based and AI applications. Fueling Private Cloud Momentum VCF with vSphere Kubernetes Service (VKS) is the leading platform of choice for modern private clouds. VKS is Broadcom’s enterprise-grade upstream conformant CNCF certified Kubernetes distribution, offered as part of VCF. It is easy to install, upgrade, scale, and manage as a multi-cluster deployment delivering a seamless self-service experience. Centralized policy management for access control, networking, security, image registries, and runtime configurations across diverse Kubernetes environments simplifies compliance and governance at scale.
