FROM THE EDITORS "VIRTUAL NEWS" DESK
Hi everyone, well last week I said it was the final newsletter for 2020; but as it turns out the news cycle really doesn’t stop, and there was so much more to bring you from our Tanzu folks. I therefore decided to do another newsletter which I promise is definitely the final one for 2020 and also means we did a newsletter every 2 weeks right on schedule.
I wish you all a happy holidays wherever you are and whenever you read this, and look forward to bringing you more news in 2021. Happy Holidays all!
Virtually Yours
