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.

Orchestrating Containers across Clouds with Tanzu Kubernetes Grid

In the previous chapter, we learned about Harbor, a container registry, that is covered as a part of the Tanzu product bundle. After learning about hosting our container images with Harbor, let’s learn how to deploy them on Kubernetes in this chapter with Tanzu Kubernetes Grid, a multi-cloud and enterprise-ready Kubernetes distribution of Tanzu. Kubernetes has become widely accepted and the default norm in the industry to run containers in the past few years. As per a recent survey by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), 96% of the responding organizations were either evaluating or already using Kubernetes (source: https://www.cncf.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/CNCF-Annual-Survey-2021.pdf)! Additionally, a large sum of them used Kubernetes on different cloud platforms for reasons such as risk mitigation, avoiding vendor lock-ins, and efficient operational expenditure. But operating large Kubernetes platforms...
