Tanzu Community Edition is a fully-featured, easy to manage, Kubernetes platform for learners and users. It is a freely available, community supported, and open source distribution of VMware Tanzu. It can be installed and deployed in minutes to your local workstation or favorite infrastructure provider. Along with cluster management, powered by Cluster API, Tanzu Community Edition enables higher-level functionality via its robust package management built on top of Carvel's kapp-controller, and opinionated, yet extensible, Carvel packages.
We recommend installing Tanzu Community Edition using a package manager. If that is not possible, manual steps are detailed last.
