Containers, Docker and Kubernetes. We hear so much about them these days, but the tech is moving so fast that it can be challenging to understand what they are and the impact they will have. Come to this session to get a foundational container technical education. Find out what they are, and why they are gaining so much traction in the development community. You will get a technical overview on containers and Kubernetes. The speaker will employ terms and use cases relatable to infrastructure engineers. You will also see some demos of this technology in action to bring the concepts home. This session will close with a short discussion of the latest VMware technology relevant in the container space.

Considering what is the best solution for your Kubernetes deployments? This session will cover the architecture and requirements to deploy VMware vSphere with Tanzu and VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid. We will discuss planning and post-deployment considerations.

Administrators are facing challenges trying to operationalize Kubernetes. Where do you start? Build a cluster from scratch? How hard is it to repeat? Is it still easily manageable and scalable? In this session, we will take a look at deploying Kubernetes clusters with VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid. We will go over the Tanzu Kubernetes Grid architecture and core concepts with a technical overview on automated multi-cluster operations, integrated platform services, and the alignment to open-source technologies.

In this session, you will learn about VMware vSphere with Tanzu. We will start with an overview of what Kubernetes is and why you, the vSphere admin, should be interested in it. We will discuss installation and configuration of vSphere with Tanzu, and go over the major components, such as vSphere pods, vSphere Supervisor Cluster and vSphere namespaces. If you’re wondering what all this Kubernetes stuff is or if you’re a vSphere administrator who wants a primer on where to go and how to get started with vSphere with Tanzu, then this is the session for you.
