On May 6, 2024 an End of Availability (EoA) was announced for Tanzu Service Mesh.   Additionally, an announcement was made that the VMware by Broadcom Tanzu Division has been working to simplify offerings under the VMware Tanzu Platform.  Many of the VMware Tanzu Service Mesh capabilities utilized by our customers can be found within the VMware Tanzu Platform.   Specifically, many of the outcomes in Tanzu Service Mesh are being solved in VMware Tanzu Platform with more features being added in the coming months.

Therefore, today we are formally announcing the impending End of Life (EoL) for Tanzu Service Mesh Advanced and Tanzu Service Mesh Enterprise, meaning that as of this notice, there will be no further product development.   These products will continue to be supported under exisitng support models for a period of approximately 12 months from today.   On November 30, 2025 Tanzu Service Mesh Advanced and Tanzu Service Mesh Enterprise will reach their EoL and End of Service including support.

Existing consumers of Tanzu Service Mesh are highly encouraged to migrate over to VMware Tanzu Platform, which is considered a successor product.  Please work with your account teams to plan out a timely transition to VMware Tanzu Platform.  Internal Runbooks are being prepared to assist account teams of consuming customers and general testing assistance is also being provided.  If you are unsure who to work with, you may reach out to Theresa Stone at [email protected] and she will direct you appropriately.
