By the end of the course, you should be able to meet the following objectives:
- Describe vSphere with Tanzu and use cases in on-premises environments
- Deploy vSphere with Tanzu
- Describe VMware Tanzu Mission Control
- Describe the VMware NSX® networking requirements for vSphere with Tanzu.
- Describe vSphere with Tanzu on NSX-T Data Center
- Describe vSphere with Tanzu on vSphere Distributed Switch
- Create and manage vSphere with Tanzu namespaces
- Deploy and run container applications on vSphere with Tanzu
- Deploy and configure Harbor
- Describe the VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid service
- Deploy a Tanzu Kubernetes Grid cluster
- Deploy and run container applications on a Tanzu Kubernetes Grid cluster
- Describe the vSphere with Tanzu lifecycle
- Use logs and CLI commands to monitor and troubleshoot vSphere with Tanzu
Target Audience
Experienced system administrators and system integrators responsible for designing and implementing vSphere with Tanzu.
Prerequisites
This course requires completion of the following courses:
- VMware vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage OR VMware vSphere: Optimize and Scale
AND
- VMware NSX-T Data Center: Install, Configure, Manage
Experience working at the command line is helpful.
This course requires that a student be able to perform the following tasks with no assistance or guidance before enrolling in this course:
- Create VMware vCenter Server® objects, such as data centers and folders
- Create a virtual machine using a wizard or a template
