VMware Tanzu Application Platform

So, what is it? VMware Tanzu Application Platform delivers a superior developer experience for enterprises building and deploying cloud-native applications on Kubernetes. It enables application teams to get to production faster by automating source to production pipelines, and it clearly defines the roles of developers and operators so they can work collaboratively instead of stepping on each other’s toes. Tanzu Application Platform is currently in public beta.

OK, I’m interested, where can I learn more?
