We view a robust ecosystem of partner validated products as the essential engine for customer experience and their sustained success. While VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) delivers the secure, enterprise-grade private cloud, its full potential is unlocked through VMware vSphere Kubernetes Service (VKS) – a built-in CNCF-certified Kubernetes runtime. VKS delivers an immediate, cloud-native foundation that replaces fragmented point solutions with a single, cohesive infrastructure. By eliminating the complexity and hidden costs of siloed environments, VKS enables enterprises to deploy modern applications and AI workloads with the rigorous security, automated management, and massive scale of a true private cloud. It transforms standard infrastructure into a business-ready platform, allowing organizations to roll out a vast ecosystem of third-party apps with total confidence. We are deepening our commitment to a mission of rapid innovation of VKS complemented partner ecosystem of products. By collaborating with industry leaders in the cloud-native space, we are providing our customers with a proven foundation to run their most critical workloads with confidence. Today, at KubeCon Europe, we are excited to share new partner product validations with VKS. These organizations represent the leading edge of cloud-native networking, security and API management providing our customers with greater choice and flexibility- F5 BIG-IP Container Ingress Services (CIS ) acts as a bridge between Kubernetes environments like VKS and F5 BIG-IP hardware/ virtual appliances. It enables automated management of application services like traffic management, load balancing and security by translating container orchestrator events into BIG-IP configuration changes.
