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.

Spring Cloud Gateway for Kubernetes and API Portal for VMware Tanzu – real-world use case

Now, we’re going to implement a real-world use case using API Portal for VMware Tanzu and Spring Cloud Gateway for Kubernetes. This will show how these products naturally work together and how, in combination, you can realize significant value as a developer, consumer, or operator of APIs.

Here’s a breakdown of our next steps:

  1. We will download an API-driven application called Animal Rescue while approximating a real-world animal adoption site, complete with SSO.
  2. We will set up our Okta environment so that our application can use Okta for SSO. Then, we will take the Okta parameters and plug them into the Animal Rescue application.
  3. We will deploy the Animal Rescue application to our Kubernetes cluster, which will create the necessary Spring Cloud Gateway artifacts. By doing so, we will be able to browse and interact with the Animal Rescue web app.
  4. We will...
