In VMworld’19, Pat has mentioned that Kubernetes is becoming the
front and center of the company’s product strategy.
Sanjay poonan has declared that using containers in digital transformation
is a “birthright” of VMware.
wait wait.! what are these Buzz words? Why are they overused? Because
they sound cool? or exciting?
Lets break this down and understand this in detail.
Containers : It’s a method
to bundle packages of application and can be isolated with its Network, file
system and its processes. One of the
famous container technology is “Docker”
Kubernetes : When I have huge number of containers I need someone
to manage and orchestrate it, that is achieved thru a technology called “Kubernetes”
-> Google’s product which was made opensource.
Related to VMware:
Project pacific : VMware is Embedding Kubernetes right into the
core of vSphere. This will enable developers and IT operators to build and
manage apps comprised of containers and/or virtual machines.
VMware Tanzu : It is a centralized control plane to manage
Kubernetes clusters running within on-prem data centers and public cloud
platforms. Heard about PKS - Pivotal
Kubernetes Service ? Yes Tanzu can be called as a rebranded version of it.
Why do you have to know about this?
VMware has always responded to market dynamics in a way to leverage
its products for the customers. But this is the first time VMware is going to
change and adjust its basic building blocks with the vSphere products to upper
hand in Hybrid cloud. So it’s good to know about these buzz words as we are going
to hear them quite often in the future ESXi releases. So Stay tuned!
