In this video, we will look at the steps involved in vSphere 7.0U1 to enable vSphere with Tanzu / Workload Management. The process will look at how different this is to VCF with Tanzu, which leverages NSX-T for networking functionality. Here we show what properties need to be provided to successfully enabled vSphere with Tanzu when a HA-Proxy is providing the Load Balancer / Virtual Server functionality for both the Supervisor control plane API server, as well as the Tanzu Kubernetes Grid ‘guest’ clusters API servers. The demonstration will complete with the creation of our first Namespace. This video accompanies…
In this final installment of my “vSphere with Tanzu” posts, we are going to look at how to create our very first Tanzu Kubernetes (TKG) guest cluster. In previous posts, we have compared vSphere with Tanzu to VCF with Tanzu, and covered the prerequisites. Then we looked at the steps involved in deploying the HA-Proxy to provide a load balancer service to vSphere with Tanzu. In my most recent post, we looked at the steps involved in enabling workload management. Now that all of that is in place, we are finally able to go ahead and deploy a TKG cluster,…
This video will show the steps involved in deploying a fully functional Tanzu Kubernetes Grid cluster (TKG) via vSphere with Kubernetes. We will see how to build and sync a content library for the TKG control plane and worker node images. We will walk through the creation of a new namespace, and review the manifest file used for the creation of the cluster. Once deployed, we will switch contexts from the namespace used to build the cluster and place ourselves in the context of the new TKG cluster. From there, we will run some kubectl commands to query the cluster.…
