VMware vSphere with Tanzu: Deploy and Manage [V7]

3 Days

18 CPD hours

Experienced system administrators and system integrators responsible for designing and implementing vSphere with Kubernetes

By the end of the course, you should be able to meet the following objectives:
Describe vSphere with Kubernetes and use cases in on-premises environments
Deploy vSphere with Kubernetes
Describe the VMware NSX networking requirements for vSphere with Kubernetes.
Create and manage vSphere with Kubernetes namespaces
Deploy and run container applications on vSphere with Kubernetes
Deploy and configure VMware Harbor
Describe the VMware Tanzu™ Kubernetes Grid™ service
Deploy a Tanzu Kubernetes Grid cluster
Deploy and run container applications on a Tanzu Kubernetes Grid cluster
Describe the vSphere with Kubernetes lifecycle
Use logs and CLI commands to monitor and troubleshoot vSphere with Kubernetes

During this 3-day course, you focus on deploying and managing VMware vSphere© with Kubernetes. You learn about how vSphere with Kubernetes can be used to orchestrate the delivery of Kubernetes clusters and containerized applications in a VMware vSphere© environment.
