VMware宣布TAC 演变为VMware Application Catalog(VAC)

　　VMware宣布TAC演变为VMware 应用目录（VAC）

　　2021-12-22 Asok Aletty

　　Today we are announcing the next step in the evolution of VMware Tanzu Application Catalog. Since its initial availability in March 2021, Tanzu Application Catalog has seen notable success due to its unique DevSecOps approach, which caters to the needs of developers, security admins, and IT operators. Tanzu Application Catalog offers a library of prepackaged, validated, production-ready open source container images that can be customized using base OS images of any customer’s choosing. On one hand, this curated image catalog boosts developer agility by allowing them to discover, iterate, and rapidly bring apps to production with prepackaged backing services tested on multiple deployment platforms. On the other hand, this also promotes operator confidence by enabling adherence to IT security and compliance levels with visibility into code provenance and build-time CVE and antivirus scanning.

　　今天我们宣布VMware 应用目录演变到下一个阶段。

　　自从2021年3月发布以来，TAC已经以其独特的DevSecOps方式取得显著的成功，满足了开发人员，安全管理人员和IT运维人员的需求。TAC提供一系列的预打包和验证的开源容器镜像，可以根据客户选择而定制。一方面，这些镜像目录可以提高开发人员的敏捷性，帮助他们发现、迭代和快速上线，因为这些后端服务是经过多平台部署验证的；另一方面，提高了IT运维人员在安全和合规方面的信息，可视化代码来源、构建时间 CVE 和防病毒扫描。

　　Evolving to VMware Application Catalog 演变到VMware应用目录

　　Over the past year, one of the most requested new features for this product has been support for virtual machine images. We’re excited to announce that support for OVA images on Tanzu Application Catalog will be released soon! Virtual machine support will broaden the product’s charter from a container-only catalog and help us meet customers wherever they are in their modernization journey. Thus, we’re renaming the product to reflect its new, wider capability and audience reach. Starting today, Tanzu Application Catalog will be officially renamed to VMware Application Catalog.

　　过去一年，支持虚拟机镜像的功能，这是需求最大的功能之一。在TAC上支持OVA镜像很快就会发布，这将扩展我们的服务目录更好的满足客户应用现代化的需要。所以，为了反应这一新的能力，我们宣布从今天起，我们TAC改名为VAC。

　　Recently, additional features have also been added to the product, including a brand-new self-onboarding user interface for customers. Instead of a manual white-glove process, VMware Application Catalog users can now request desired artifacts and provide their custom base operating system image and a private registry of choice—all through an easy-to-use self-onboarding workflow, with just a few clicks.

　　近期，产品增加了许多新的功能，包括用户自服务的UI界面。相较于原来的流程，VAC用户现在可以通过简单的UI自服务流程，只需简单点击，就可申请私服的制品库和自定义的操作系统镜像。

　　What this means for customers

　　VMware Application Catalog users will see the new product name reflected in the user interface and documentation and will soon be able to request artifacts in the form of virtual machines, in addition to already-supported container formats.

　　VAC用户的UI界面上和文档中将看到新的产品名字，不久的将来就可以像容器镜像一样，在界面上申请虚拟机。
