This a second part of the deployment vSphere IaaS Control Plane with Avi Load Balancer and VDS. In this post, we will enable Workload Management, create vSphere namespace and a cluster. Also, I’m going to deploy 3 tier app inside the Kubernetes workload cluster.
vSphere IaaS Control Plane with VMware Avi Load Balancer and vSphere Distributed Switch (VDS) provides a robust architecture for managing and delivering containerized applications in a virtualized environment. This setup, enables unified environment where Kubernetes applications can run alongside with traditional virtual machines. Administrators can deploy K8S workload clusters directly on vSphere environment. For some time, this product was know as vSphere with Tanzu or Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Service, aka TKGs.
Zabbix is an open-source monitoring tool designed to oversee various components of IT infrastructure, including networks, servers, virtual machines, and cloud services. It operates using both agent-based and agentless monitoring methods. Agents can be installed on monitored devices to collect performance data and report back to a centralized Zabbix server.
The challenge is easy – vSAN datastore is running out of space and need to be expanded.
The whole process is a quite obvious. If there are free disk slots in a ESXi hosts, get a new drives, install in the servers and reconfigure vSAN capacity pool from the vCenter.
vSAN OSA (Original Storage Architecture) is one of two ways for implement a virtual storage solution. Another one is vSAN ESA (Express Storage Architecture). Today I want to focus on the first one. In short, vSAN enables to configure virtual storage across VMware ESXi hosts using local drives.
vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM) was introduced in vSphere 7. This is the next-generation managment tool for updating and keep in sync ESXi fleet. The main goal of the vLCM is to maintain configuration consistency across ESXi hosts in the infrastructure.
After clean and default setup of Maxtang NUC (gift for vExperts on VMware Explore 2022 in Barcelona) it’s time to do something more. Let’s configure 2 independent USB to Ethernet adapter, block/file storage and connect to the vCenter 8…
At the last VMware Explore 2022 in Barcona, vExperts have a great opportunity to receive gifts. It is a small, fanless and powerfull device – Maxtang NUC server!
Sometimes, there are situations that the standard ESXi image is not suitable for your environment. Good examples are some NUC servers with officially unsupported network cards. The solution is to use a USB to Ethernet adapter. But that’s not all. You must use the native VMware Fling USB Network driver.
