What is vSphere?

vSphere is a server virtualization platform that delivers essential services for the
modern hybrid cloud. It is now rearchitected with native Kubernetes into an open
platform that enables you to run existing enterprise applications alongside modern
containerized applications in a unified manner.

VMware Cloud Foundation Services 

What is VMware Cloud Foundation Services?
Powered by innovations in vSphere 7 with Kubernetes, VMware Cloud Foundation
Services is a new, integrated Kubernetes and RESTful API surface that enables you
to drive API access to all core services. VMware Cloud Foundation Services consists
of two families of services—Tanzu Runtime Services and Hybrid Infrastructure
Services.
 Tanzu Runtime Services deliver core Kubernetes development services, including an
up-to-date distribution of Tanzu Kubernetes Grid.
 Hybrid Infrastructure Services include full Kubernetes and RESTful API access
that spans creating and manipulating virtual machines, containers, storage, networking, and other
core capabilities.
