VMware TAS vs. TAP
VMware has two application development platforms and I now know the difference.
The VMware Tanzu Team presented at Cloud Field Day 13. During the morning presentation, the team presented on the recently announced Tanzu Application Platform (TAP), not to be confused with Tanzu Application Services (TAS).
I asked the fundamental question about the difference. TL;DR
Tanzu Application Services = Pivotal Cloud Foundry or a rigid PaaS for consistent modern application development.
Tanzu Application Platform = A opinionated Kubernetes application platform for consistent modern application development
A practical example of the difference? If you need a message queue service, TAS will include a message queue service that must be used. On the other hand, TAP will come with a default message queue that you can replace.
