VMware Tanzu Editions
Standard Vs Advanced 

In our article we are going to talk about the feature sets and the difference between VMware Tanzu Standard and VMware Tanzu Advanced. Lets start with the VMware Tanzu Standard edition followed by VMware Tanzu Advanced

VMware Tanzu Standard
Organizations may deploy, execute, and manage containerized apps on Kubernetes clusters using VMware Tanzu Standard, a software solution. Along with continuous updates, self-healing, and automated scaling, it also integrates with current tools and infrastructure.

A variety of add-ons and services are also included with Tanzu Standard to aid enterprises in managing and securing their Kubernetes environment. It is also constructed on top of the vSphere virtualization technology from VMware, enabling interoperability with pre-existing VMware systems.

Tanzu Standard focuses heavily on Kubernetes multi-cloud and multi-cluster management (Tanzu Kubernetes Grid with Tanzu Mission Control, or TMC) (Tanzu Application Catalog, Tanzu Build Service).

VMware Tanzu Advanced
An enhancement of VMware Tanzu Standard, VMware Tanzu Advanced offers more tools and functionality to support managing and securing a Kubernetes environment for businesses. VMware Tanzu Advanced provides many more features to help you create your applications

Any custom apps you create are automatically maintained, containerized, and bundled with dependencies. Additionally, developers may self-serve from a curated catalogue when they need base runtimes or pre-built components. Create a stream of photos automatically to kickstart a continuous delivery system.

Security is incorporated into a whole software supply chain by VMware Tanzu Advanced. Your carefully designed library of basic runtimes and predefined components is constantly current.

Through a declarative build process, the provenance of the source code in your applications is monitored, and governance controls are automatically enforced. All container images are continually sent to your Kubernetes clusters across clouds, encrypted, and stored in a private registry. Your service mesh also offers durable and secure connectivity throughout the whole lifespan.

Kubernetes at scale are managed more efficiently via VMware Tanzu Advanced. You can control everything from a single central control plane as your container count and Kubernetes footprint increase. 

Apply uniform policies to Kubernetes clusters, including collections across several clouds. Organize management, policy control, and service connection visibility for VMs and containerized workloads. Gain insight into the health and performance of clusters across clouds, and utilize powerful analytics to quickly diagnose problems and make wise decisions.

Conclusion
As we said, VMware Tanzu Advanced provides many more features to help you create your applications, whereas Tanzu Standard focuses heavily on Kubernetes multi-cloud and multi-cluster management (Tanzu Kubernetes Grid with Tanzu Mission Control, or TMC) (Tanzu Application Catalog, Tanzu Build Service).
