With Fusion or Workstation, developers will be able to support more custom Kubernetes clusters with support for ‘ kind’ - a tool for running local Kubernetes clusters using containers as “nodes.” Containers built with vctl can be tested on local Kubernetes clusters to validate pipeline workflows before pushing them upstream to a central registry such as Harbor.

Today’s updates expand support for modern application developers with enhancements to VMware’s container engine CLI-vctl-while also making it available on Workstation for Windows.

VMware has long served developers as well as end users and IT professionals with some of the best-in- class features with its award-winning desktop hypervisor products-VMware Fusion and Workstation. “We’ve built a consistent CI/CD operational model that-with our free Player version-is available for all developers.” “Developers can now slipstream Kubernetes applications from test/dev into production,” said Lee Caswell, vice president, marketing, Cloud Platform Business Unit, VMware. The latest release of Fusion also introduces a new edition-Fusion Player-available with a free Personal Use license as well as offering a paid license for commercial use. VMware’s updates support the changing needs of modern developers by extending the tools traditionally used to simplify workflows and expand capabilities of virtual machines (VMs) to container-based applications orchestrated with Kubernetes. (NYSE: VMW), a leading innovator in enterprise software, today unveiled the newest versions of its VMware Fusion and VMware Workstation desktop hypervisor solutions.
