VMware’s Tanzu Portfolio offers enough products that can help you on your modernisation journey. They also have something for traditional vSphere guys like me 🙂 Yes, vSphere with Tanzu offers first hand Kubernetes experience without compromising on the chill and thrill that vSphere has been able to give us for so long 🙂 In today’s…
In my last post, I discussed about replacing supervisor cluster’s VIP cert and the load balancer cert. This article will be a continuation of sorts.Supervisor cluster is compromised of so many individual components that communicate between each other and with vCenter using certificates and this signifies the importance of this certs being valid at all…
I wrote about enabling vSphere with Tanzu here. Much hasn’t changed about the pre-reqs and the procedure when it comes to the latest version of vSphere 7.0 U3, except for a few cosmetic changes. I haven’t tested it on vSphere 8 yet. If there are changes, I would love to blog about it too 🙂But…
Since we have completed all the pre-requisites required to back up a vSphere pod using Velero in the previous three blogs, we will look into the procedure of backing up and restoring the pod in this blog.Step 1: I have created a namespace called “vsphere-pods” and deployed a nginx pod into it.Step 2: Verify if…
So far in this series of blogs, we have installed MinIO on a Ubuntu server, installed the Data Manager and the Velero vSphere Operator on the Supervisor cluster. We will continue in our journey to backup and restore a vSphere pod. The next step would be to install the vSphere plugin for Velero. Step 1:…
As a follow up to my previous blog about setting up MinIO for Velero vSphere Operator, I would like to describe the process of installing the Velero vSphere Operator in this blog.You can refer to the official documentation here.Since we have already installed MinIO, we will now deploy the Data Manager using OVA. The OVA…
It has been a while since I wrote something in the space. This one has been long overdue. Almost all enterprises are slowly migrating their workloads to cloud native spaces, either on-prem or on the cloud. There are many external factors that aids the decision making process of whether the cloud-native applications are going to…
Tanzu has become the buzz word off-late. While VMware offers a variety of Tanzu services, this blog would concentrate on enabling vSphere with Tanzu or TKGs as they call it. Starting vSphere 7, your hypervisor’s (ESXi Servers) are capable of acting in similar capacity to a worker node of a kubernetes cluster, by using the…
All good things take time they say. I have come to realise this is kind of true. Been a while since I wrote.. You see where I am getting at? Never mind.. Let me jump right into it. If you have been following me, you would have noticed me talking about setting up a K8s…
I previously wrote about setting up a kubernetes cluster here and about how to further add nodes to that cluster here. As a follow up to this series of blogs, I would like to demonstrate setting up a private image repository here.Pre-requisites: Pre-installed docker client on any linux variant SSL Certs of the node where…
