During this two-day course, you focus on using VMware Tanzu® Mission Control™ to provision and manage Kubernetes clusters. The course covers how to apply access, image registry, network, security, quota, and custom policies to Kubernetes environments. For cluster provisioning and management, the course focuses on deploying, upgrading, backing up, and monitoring Kubernetes clusters on VMware vSphere® with VMware Tanzu® and also covers package management using the VMware Tanzu Mission Control catalog.
• Experience deploying and managing multiple Kubernetes clusters
• Experience with Kubernetes RBAC, network policies, resource quotas, and Pod Security Policies
The provisioning lesson in the course relies on VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid™, so the attending one of the following courses is recommended:
• VMware vSphere with Tanzu: Deploy and Manage [V7]
• VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid: Install, Configure, Manage [V1.3]
• Describe the Tanzu Mission Control architecture
• Configure user and group access
• Create access, image registry, network, security, quota, and custom policies
• Connect your on-premises vSphere with Tanzu Supervisor cluster to VMware Tanzu Mission Control
• Create, manage, and back up Tanzu Kubernetes clusters
• Perform cluster inspections
• Manage packages in your clusters
• Monitor and secure Kubernetes environments
