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

The VMware NSX Advanced Load Balancer (previously Avi Networks Platform) is a distributed application delivery controller (ADC) built for the cloud, with an architecture that mirrors cloud principles. NSX Advanced Load Balancer provides a software load balancer and intelligent web application firewall, combined with advanced analytics and monitoring to enable a fast, scalable, and intrinsically more secure application experience. The solution’s central control plane and distributed data plane deliver application services as a dynamic, multi-cloud fabric which intelligently automates decisions and provides unprecedented application analytics and on-demand elasticity. Customers can dispatch services, such as load balancing and web application firewall, to any application on any cloud, running on VMs, containers, or bare metal, using one centralized interface.

VMware’s acquisition of Avi Networks marked the company’s official entry into the load balancing industry. Traditional load balancers are hardware or virtual appliances are difficult to deploy, manage, and scale. NSX Advanced Load Balancer helps organizations overcome the complexity and rigidness of legacy systems and ADC appliances with modern, software-defined application delivery services. See why the world’s largest enterprises are replacing their legacy appliance-based load balancers with Avi Networks’ modern load balancing fabric across data centers and clouds. Avi separates the control plane from the data plane to create a fully elastic, multi-cloud load balancing fabric.

NSX Intelligence is a distributed analytics engine built natively into NSX-T that provides continuous data center-wide visibility for network and application security teams, helping them deliver a more granular and dynamic security posture, simplify compliance analysis, and streamline security operations. NSX Intelligence provides deep insight at the packet level into virtualized and containerized workloads, allowing for intuitive, highly automated network and security policy generation and enforcement. NSX Intelligence helps eliminate blind spots to reduce security risk and accelerate security incident remediation through visualization and deep insight into every flow across the entire datacenter. Users gain holistic context for security troubleshooting and improve collaboration between infrastructure and security teams through a converged pane for security operations. Together with VMware vRealize Network Insight and NSX Intelligence, customers can gain comprehensive visibility, analytics and troubleshooting to improve network and security operations.


VMware Demo: NSX Container Networking for Red Hat OpenShift 4.3

In this video we demonstrate VMware NSX-T support for Red Hat OpenShift. NSX-T has helped OpenShift customers simplify their networking and network-based security for several years with the NSX Container Plug-in (NCP). NCP provides the following functionality:
  • Automatically creates an NSX-T logical topology for an OpenShift cluster, and creates a separate logical network for each OpenShift namespace.
  • Connects OpenShift pods to the logical network, and allocates IP and MAC addresses.
  • Supports network address translation (NAT) and allocates a separate SNAT IP for each OpenShift namespace.
  • Implements OpenShift network policies with NSX-T distributed firewall.
  • Implements OpenShift Router with NSX-T layer 7 load balancer.
  • Creates tags on the NSX-T logical switch port for the namespace, pod name, and labels of a pod, and allows the administrator to define NSX-T security groups and policies based on the tags.
NSX-T (via NCP) can apply micro-segmentation to OpenShift pods with predefined tags based rules and Kubernetes network policy per namespace. Predefined tag rules allow you to define firewall policies in advance of deployment based on business logic rather than using less efficient methods such as static IP addresses to craft security policy. With this method, security groups defined in NSX-T with ingress and egress policy and micro-segmented to protect sensitive applications and data down to the pod and container level. Finally, NSX-T provides OpenShift clusters with full network traceability and visibility. NSX-T has built-in operational tools for Kubernetes, including Port Connection, Traceflow, Port Mirroring and IPFIX

NetOps/SecOps observability is needed for questions such as “is it app or network”, “what happened yesterday”, “can I replay the attack”? Arista’s monitoring fabric solution, through the Big Switch acquisition, offers a context-aware, one dashboard, architecture inclusive of packet modification services, packet/flow recording and replay and deep analytics to assist in rapid resolution of application performance issues and security incident root cause analysis.

As part of a maturing NetDevOps practice, operators need confidence that configuration changes will not disrupt the network. Rolling back an erroneous network change could be “too late” to prevent disruption. Performing pre-validation checks on the configuration provides assurances that the changes are not introducing errors into the desired network behavior. In this session, Arista solutions engineer Fred Hsu demonstrates how Batfish network validation can be combined with Ansible and CloudVision to prevent a configuration error from being deployed into the network.
