Enabling embedded Harbor Image Registry in vSphere 7 with Kubernetes

Tue, 18 Aug 2020 14:11:26 +0000

This will be a quick blog to demonstrate how to enable the (embedded) Harbor Image Registry in vSphere 7 with Kubernetes. Harbor was originally developed by VMware as a enterprise-grade private container registry. It was then donated to the CNCF in 2018 and recently became a CNCF graduated project.

For this demo, we’ll activate the embedded Harbor register within the vSphere 7 Kubernetes environment, and integrate it with the Supervisor Cluster for container management and deployment.

Deploying Contour Ingress Controller on Tanzu Kubernetes Grid (TKG)

Sat, 01 Aug 2020 21:15:59 +0000

This blog provides a guide to help you deploying Contour Ingress Controller onto a Tanzu Kubernetes Grid (TKG) cluster. Contour is an open source Kubernetes ingress controller that exposes HTTP/HTTPS routes for internal services so they are reachable from outside the cluster. Like many other ingress controllers, Contour can provide advanced L7 URL/URI based routing and load balancing, as well as SSL/TLS termination capabilities.

Contour was originally developed by Heptio (VMware) and has been recently handed over to CNCF as an incubating project. Contour consists of a control plane that is provisioned via a K8s deployment, and an Envoy-based data plane running as a Daemonset on every cluster worker node.

Deploying vSphere 7 with Kubernetes and Tanzu Kubernetes Grid (TKG) Cluster

In this post we’ll explore the vSphere 7 with Kubernetes capabilities and the detailed deployment steps in order to provision a vSphere supervisor cluster and a Tanzu Kubernetes Grid (TKG) cluster.

If you are new to vSphere 7 and Tanzu Kubernetes, below are some background readings that can be used as a good start point:
