Tanzu Toolkit for Visual Studio is an extension for Visual Studio (2022 & 2019) that allows users of Tanzu Application Service ("TAS") to manage apps directly from within the IDE.
Users of this extension are able to:
- Deploy apps to Tanzu Application Service by right-clicking on a project in the Visual Studio Solution Explorer & selecting "Push To Tanzu Application Service".
- View apps running in any organizations and spaces the TAS user has access to.
- Stop, start, and delete apps from the "Tanzu Application Service Explorer" tool window.
- Stream app logs by right-clicking on any app in the "Tanzu Application Service Explorer" tool window.
Tanzu Toolkit for Visual Studio uses the Cloud Foundry CLI to administer apps within Tanzu Application Service. The CF CLI comes bundled with this extension but will maintain a separate configuration environment so as not to interfere with any existing installations of the CF CLI that may exist. CF CLI operations may not work for especially outdated versions of TAS; for more information, see this note on Cloud Controller API version support.
