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.

Managing and Controlling Kubernetes Clusters with Tanzu Mission Control

In the previous section of the book, we covered the tools in the Tanzu portfolio that help us run cloud-native applications. We covered how Harbor can provide a secure home for your container images and how we can run those images using Tanzu Kubernetes Grid, which provides a uniform user experience across public and private cloud infrastructure. Finally, we took a deep dive into the area of developer productivity to automate and secure the software supply chain from an idea to a running application in production.

This section is about managing cloud-native apps and their corresponding Kubernetes infrastructure. To begin this section, in this chapter, we will learn about managing, securing, and governing a fleet of Kubernetes clusters of any flavor and on any infrastructure using Tanzu Mission Control (TMC). Followed by that, we will cover VMware Aria Operations for Applications, a tool to monitor every part...
