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.

API Portal for VMware Tanzu – getting started

Unlike Spring Cloud Gateway for Kubernetes, API Portal for VMware Tanzu comes as a part of Tanzu Application Platform, which you installed in the Technical requirements section previously. You can verify that API Portal is installed and running by navigating to your Tanzu Application GUI, either at a local port forward address such as http://localhost:8081 or at your ingress domain such as http://tap-gui.example.com. This depends on your choice of Kubernetes cluster and how you installed TAP. Once you access your Tanzu Application Platform GUI, click the APIs menu item on the left-hand side; you should see a screen like the following:
