VMware NSX: Networking for vSphere with Kubernetes

This presentation will cover how VMware NSX provides a rich set of networking and security capabilities for the new vSphere 7 with Kubernetes. Focused on rearchitecting vSphere into an open platform using Kubernetes APIs to provide a cloud-like experience for developers and operators.

VMware NSX provides full-stack networking and security including switching, routing, load balancing, firewalling, service mesh and analytics to simplify operations and maximize efficiency for vSphere with Kubernetes environments.

VMware NSX has been designed-in as the default pod networking solution for VMware vSphere with Kubernetes, and integration with Kubernetes enables context-aware security policies with namespace isolation. Native integration with Cluster API helps to create load balancers making it easier to publish applications outside of the cluster. With NSX, enterprises can extend consistent policies across app environments, simplify Day 0 to Day 2 operations, and deliver the agility and performance required to run modern applications. VMware vSphere 7 with Kubernetes was originally previewed in August 2019 as Project Pacific.
