There are specific networking parameters that need to be planned before we proceed with Avi deployment and workload management, this includes which DVS port groups need to be created for Avi and for TKC workload clusters. Network Topology and addressing requirements for vSphere with Tanzu and NSX ALB vCenter server appliance with 2 vCPU and 24 GB RAM.3 x ESXi hosts each with 12 vCPUs, 2 x NICs and 128 GB RAM.Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter as management host for UI access.įor virtual hosts and appliances sizing I used the following specs:.Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS as DNS and internet gateway.VyOS 1.4 used as lab backbone router and DHCP server.TrueNAS 12.0-U7 used to provision NFS data stores to ESXi hosts.NSX Advanced Load Balancer version 22.1.2.Lab Inventoryįor software versions I used the following: I say “revisit” since I have already covered the same topic once with NSX as networking provider and loadbalancer ( HERE) and once using VDS as networking provider and HA-Proxy as loadbalancer ( HERE). In this blog post I will be revisiting the topic of enabling workload management on vSphere (TKGs) on top of VDS networking and using NSX ALB (Avi vintage) as loadbalancer for supervisor and guest TKC deployed clusters. TKGs which is known as vSphere with Tanzu offers a vSphere integrated management control plane for Kubernetes workloads, which leverages a wide spectrum of services offered with vSphere such as embedded nodes lifecycle management, use of vSphere clusters HA zones (in vSphere 8), deploying guest TKC (Tanzu Kubernetes Clusters) by applying a simple YAML, making use of NSX solid security and load balancing capabilities for containerised workloads and much more. I am just back from VMware Explore in Barcelona after presenting an interesting session about securing containers with Antrea and NSX and I am very excited and pumped to see how our Tanzu portfolio has/is evolved/evolving and this just gave me a push to revisit a topic which is bit common, yet will be even more interesting in the future of TKGs offering.
