Kubernetes is changing Infrastructure needs. In this session we introduce VMware vSphere 7 with Kubernetes as part of VMware Cloud Foundation 4. Originally previewed in August 2019 as Project Pacific, and foundational component of the new VMware Tanzu portfolio, VMware vSphere 7 with Kubernetes supports all applications including modern and traditional applications using any combination of virtual machines, containers and Kubernetes. This session highlights Tanzu Kubernetes Grid, which is embedded into vSphere 7 with Kubernetes. Developers can now manage consistent, compliant and conformant Kubernetes clusters running on vSphere through Kubernetes tools and restful APIs.
This release introduces VMware Cloud Foundation Services, an integrated Kubernetes and RESTful API surface to enable organizations to drive API access to all core services. VMware Cloud Foundation Services include:
- Tanzu Runtime Services: These services will deliver core Kubernetes development services including an up-to- date distribution of Tanzu Kubernetes Grid
- Hybrid Infrastructure Services:
- vSphere Pod Service extends Kubernetes with the ability to run pods directly on the hypervisor. When developers deploy containers using the vSphere Pod service, they get the same level of security isolation, performance guarantees and management capabilities that VMs enjoy
- Registry Service allows developers to store, manage and secure Docker and OCI images using Harbor
- Network Service allows developers to manage Virtual Routers, Load Balancers and Firewall Rules
- Storage Service allows developers to manage persistent disks for use with container, Kubernetes and virtual machines
