When deploying Kubernetes on VMware Cloud Foundation, it’s important to understand that VMware vSphere Kubernetes Service (VKS) and VMware NSX have different roles. VKS provides the Kubernetes platform where applications run. NSX provides much of the networking and security infrastructure…
When deploying applications on VMware vSphere Kubernetes Service (VKS), one of the questions that often comes up is how applications are exposed outside the Kubernetes cluster. Kubernetes provides the concepts needed to expose applications, such as Service and Ingress, but…
I had the pleasure of being invited to be a guest on the VMware Podcast vBarbeque talking about VKS on VCF.
If you’re running VMware vSphere Kubernetes Service (VKS) and want to deploy a containerized application, the process is very similar to deploying workloads on any standard Kubernetes cluster. At a high level, the workflow looks like this: Container image →…
Kubernetes has become the standard platform for running containerized applications, but Kubernetes itself is only part of the story. Organizations still need to decide where Kubernetes runs, how clusters are managed, how networking and storage are provided, and who is…
As organizations modernize their application portfolios, Kubernetes has become the de facto platform for deploying and operating cloud-native applications. The challenge for many enterprises is not whether to adopt Kubernetes, but how to do so without creating additional infrastructure silos,…
For years, infrastructure transformations have largely been driven by technology. New hardware, new hypervisors, new management tools, and new architectures promised greater efficiency and scalability. Yet many organizations discovered that while the technology changed, the way they operated did not.…
Designing for FTT=1 and STT=1 Without Creating Hidden Risk vSAN Stretched Clusters are often positioned as the pinnacle of on‑premises availability design: two active data centers, synchronous storage replication, and automated recovery. Yet in practice, many stretched clusters fail not…
