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.

Getting started with Tanzu Kubernetes Grid

TKG, being a multi-cloud solution, can be installed on a vSphere-based on-premises environment, or Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS)-based public cloud platforms. To keep this chapter to an acceptable length, we will only cover how to install and configure a TKG foundation on AWS. You may find additional TKG installation and configuration details here: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Tanzu-Kubernetes-Grid/1.5/vmware-tanzu-kubernetes-grid-15/GUID-mgmt-clusters-prepare-deployment.html.

We will perform the following tasks in this section:

  • Configure the bootstrap machine – the operator workstation from where the installation will be triggered
  • Deploy the TKG management cluster
  • Create a TKG workload cluster using the management cluster
  • Obtain access to the workload cluster

But before we do that, we need to ensure that the following prerequisites are met to complete these tasks.
