VMware Tanzu GemFire and Other VMware Tanzu Application Service for VMs Services
As well as Tanzu GemFire, other services offer on-demand service plans. These plans let developers provision service instances when they want.
These contrast with the older pre-provisioned service plans, which require operators to provision the service instances during installation and configuration through the service tile UI.
The following table lists which service tiles offer on-demand and pre-provisioned service plans:
| Service tile | Standalone product related to the service | Supports on-demand | Supports pre-provisioned |
|---|---|---|---|
| RabbitMQ for VMware Tanzu [VMs] | Pivotal RabbitMQ | Yes | Yes. Only recommended for test environments. |
| Redis for VMware Tanzu | Redis | Yes | Yes (shared-VM plan). Only recommended for test environments. |
| MySQL for VMware Tanzu | MySQL | Yes |
No |
| VMware Tanzu GemFire | VMware GemFire | Yes | No |
For services that offer both on-demand and pre-provisioned plans, you can choose the
plan you want to use when configuring the tile.
