The release of vSphere 7.0 U1 brings with it a lot of new enhancements to the platform’s core, while the four new Tanzu editions make it easier to package a complete Kubernetes solution. In the meantime, using vSphere with Tanzu has been simplified even more with use of the vSphere Distributed Switch as its main networking construct. Now your vSphere environment can be transformed into a Kubernetes powerhouse.
The dawn of virtualization and virtual machines or VMs have brought about massive changes in the industrial and commercial sector. Every organization, be it large or small, are now implementing virtual machines on different scales, and it’s saving them a lot of money and resources. But while virtualization is an incredibly powerful computing technology, it is by no means simple to handle.
As IT continues to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) and automation to transform how IT operates and becomes more proactive, leveraging a solution that relies on manual scripts to monitor and troubleshoot Citrix is a giant step backward.
vSphere 7 with Kubernetes enables operations teams to deliver both infrastructure and application services as part of the core platform. The Network service provides automation of software-defined networking to both the Kubernetes clusters embedded in vSphere and Tanzu Kubernetes clusters deployed through the Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Service for vSphere.
Lifecycle management is one of the most complicated components of Kubernetes. In a past article, we showed how to modify a cluster to change the type and size of its nodes. In this post, we will explain how to upgrade the Kubernetes version of a Tanzu Kubernetes cluster when there is a new release. And the best part is that it’s all done in just a few easy steps using the Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Service for vSphere.
