Bitnami offers the latest validated and secure versions of application packages, many from open-source ISVs, enabling developers to accelerate the process of creating new applications and services on any cloud. Bitnami's developer community has leveraged its catalog to build millions of enterprise applications. Furthermore, VMware will continue to invest in Bitnami's product portfolio and projects, and will also help its customers build and deploy applications faster and more easily.

Bitnami will enable VMware to offer application content that can be deployed across any cloud, whether public or hybrid, and in a wide range of environments, such as virtual machines or Kubernetes. Bitnami will also allow VMware to increase its efforts to provide customers with a marketplace offering a comprehensive suite of applications, development environments, and infrastructure software.

VMware will be able to accelerate application development by offering simpler ways to leverage open-source software applications, freeing developers to focus on building differentiating capabilities instead of worrying about deployment and infrastructure. The plan is to do this across all clouds and formats, including virtual machines, containers, SaaS offerings, and more. The goal is to provide equivalence rather than abstraction across different cloud platforms.
