Introduction to vSphere with Tanzu and Tanzu Community Edition

Comparison of two approaches to create Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Clusters in an existing VMware vSphere environment.

The construction of Kubernetes clusters with the corresponding vSphere network and storage plugins (CSI & CNI) as well as the entire lifecycle management with all compatibility checks represents a time and technical challenge. The various VMware Tanzu solutions facilitate these processes enormously and are based among other things on proven open source solutions such as the “Cluster API”.

Content:

First, the focus will be on building a TKG (Tanzu Kubernetes Grid) cluster using “vSphere with Tanzu” and then on building a TKG cluster based on “Tanzu Community Edition”.

Creating a TKG cluster based on “vSphere with Tanzu”
Establishment of vDS

- Installation & configuration of HA proxy
- Enabling the Supervisor Cluster
- Creation of 2 TKG clusters
- Example application with LB usage
- Lifecycle management of a TKG cluster

Establishment of TKG cluster based on “Tanzu Community Edition”

- Preparation of the admin environment (Brew)
- Installation of the TCE Management Cluster
- Installation of the TCE workload cluster
Integrate VMware Package Repository
vSphere Storage Integration
Install packages (i.e. Cert Manager)
Lifecycle management of a TKG cluster

In both approaches we will run an example application with a UI / App / DB tier and load balancer network mode

Disclaimer: The actual course content may vary from the above, depending on the trainer, implementation, duration and constellation of participants.

Whether we call it training, course, workshop or seminar, we want to pick up participants at their point and equip them with the necessary practical knowledge so that they can apply the technology directly after the training and deepen it independently.

Goal:

The aim is to understand the different lifecycle management systems of the TKG clusters and their different package management systems. This is intended to support decision-making for the appropriate selection of the solution in your own environment.

Form:

80 % hands-on experience and 20 % theory

Target Audience:

vSphere admins who are to roll out containerized applications or who want to hand over Kubernetes clusters to developers for their own use.

Requirements:

Basic knowledge of vSphere, Docker and Kubernetes. The course can be combined with a Docker & Kubernetes introductory course.

Preparation:

Each participant receives a questionnaire and installation instructions after registration. Matching the answers we send individual feedback.

Waitinglist for public course:

Sign up for the waiting list for more public course dates. Once we have enough people on the waiting list, we will determine a date that suits everyone as much as possible and schedule a new session. If you want to participate directly with two colleagues, we can even plan a public course specifically for you.
