Broadcom deprecated your Kubernetes platform. We built ours around it.

TKG standalone is end-of-life. TMC SaaS sunsets November 2025. The Tanzu brand is being erased from VCF. Codiac is the Kubernetes management platform that actually wants to be one â cloud-neutral, no YAML, ready in minutes.

Your Status Quo Is Already Gone
