DevSecOps in Practice with VMware Tanzu

By: Parth Pandit, Robert Hardt

Overview of this book

As Kubernetes (or K8s) becomes more prolific, managing large clusters at scale in a multi-cloud environment becomes more challenging – especially from a developer productivity and operational efficiency point of view. DevSecOps in Practice with VMware Tanzu addresses these challenges by automating the delivery of containerized workloads and controlling multi-cloud Kubernetes operations using Tanzu tools. This comprehensive guide begins with an overview of the VMWare Tanzu platform and discusses its tools for building useful and secure applications using the App Accelerator, Build Service, Catalog service, and API portal. Next, you’ll delve into running those applications efficiently at scale with Tanzu Kubernetes Grid and Tanzu Application Platform. As you advance, you’ll find out how to manage these applications, and control, observe, and connect them using Tanzu Mission Control, Tanzu Observability, and Tanzu Service Mesh. Finally, you’ll explore the architecture, capabilities, features, installation, configuration, implementation, and benefits of these services with the help of examples. By the end of this VMware book, you’ll have gained a thorough understanding of the VMWare Tanzu platform and be able to efficiently articulate and solve real-world business problems.

Defining and Managing Business APIs

Application programming interfaces (APIs) are as old as digital computing itself but more relevant than ever as we continue to interconnect every aspect of modern life. They make up the backbone of most enterprise applications and help run the modern world. It is this very proliferation of APIs that makes them a big source of waste, redundancy, and bad practice in enterprises.

This chapter introduces two products aimed squarely at this problem space: Spring Cloud Gateway for Kubernetes and API Portal for VMware Tanzu. As is the case with every product in the Tanzu portfolio, these products address a specific acute business need: in this case, developing, operating, publishing, securing, monitoring, documenting, searching for, and consuming APIs.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Spring Cloud Gateway for Kubernetes and API Portal for VMware Tanzu – overview
  • Why Spring Cloud Gateway for Kubernetes?
  • Why...
