I have multiple Kubernetes environments within my environment. TMC gives me a single pane view, which is good for managing everything.

The other part is that Tanzu is coming up with vRA integration. It's a vRA product for infrastructure management and virtualization. On top of it, we have VCF as well. With that, the management of all the clusters isn't a big time management task. So, the management of all the clusters becomes very easy for me, and my administrative activities are coming down. This is something that isn't available with OpenShift.

The most important thing about the solution is its flexibility. We can divide all our environments into namespaces and give developers their own space to do anything they need to do. The security features can be managed via policies. From an operations point of view, it is much better than using monolithic, Windows-based servers like IAS and SQL Server.

The ease of registering multiple Kubernetes clusters, having a single pane of visibility on its dashboard, and performing lifecycle management operations. It's intuitive and offers an app store-like interface for installing applications on Tanzu Kubernetes Grid clusters.

So, ease of use is one of the aspects I really liked about it. 

From my understanding, the user interface and application visibility didn't present major downsides. Everything was manageable from the console or dashboard.

The most valuable feature of VMware Tanzu Mission Control is the management functionality of the cluster life cycle. Additionally, the solution integrates well with other vendors, such as Velero for backups and Sonobuoy for compliance. Additionally, it works well in multi-cluster environments.

Defining security metrics has proven beneficial for customers in maintaining a safe environment.

It is a single offering. So no matter the number of clusters, the customers can manage it from a single console. So the backup, the life cycle, and everything can be managed from this solution. So that's a key takeaway.

Tanzu Mission Control has quite a set of rich features when compared to OpenShift. I like the dashboard for monitoring the CI/CD pipeline, the entire process of releasing it into the cloud, and deploying it to the cloud.

A feature we find valuable is that other products can also be integrated with Mission Control. This means that we can see the status of specific clusters, as well as view the monitoring application logs all from one point. 

The most important feature of Tanzu Mission Control is its integration with the other products, especially with ESX and vSAN. This is a strong part of Tanzu Mission Control. In other solutions, such as OpenShift or Kubernetes, you can find similar features, but they don't have similar integration. 

With Tanzu Mission Control, you get a total solution with only one provider. You have the integration with the infrastructure, virtualization of networking, and virtualization of storage. You have a natural integration, and you don't have the problem of integrating it with different products or providers. Sometimes, different companies have good integration, but it is not always guaranteed. For example, many years ago, Cisco and VMware were good partners in networking, but when VMware started to sell ESX, the relationship was broken. This is the problem that you can face when you are using solutions from two different companies.

The multi-tenancy with the VCD is great. 

VMware Tanzu Mission Control has many valuable features, such as ease of use and customization.

The most important feature of VMware Tanzu Mission Control is the integration with vSphere because it allows easy implementation of the solution into the development cycle. Additionally, you can run the containers on the virtual machine in the same cluster.

Many people in organizations need to change the monolithic way that they develop programs. However, with this solution, you are able to integrate both monolithic and virtual machines. The new way is with microservices and people who have worked in the development for a long time it can be difficult to learn the new modern techniques of development.

The most popular feature of VMware Tanzu Mission Control is its graphical user interface for describing network policies on the Service Mesh, which is highly integrable with other tools commonly used in supply chains such as security. This static, graphical user interface is highly useful.
