What is Kubernetes?

Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform that enables efficient management and operation of containerized applications. When we talk about Kubernetes in the context of VMware solutions, we are referring to the implementation of Kubernetes on VMware product-based infrastructure such as VMware Tanzu, VMware NSX-T and others.

 

Get a unified environment for managing containers and virtual machines

Kubernetes can be integrated with VMware infrastructure, allowing containers to run on virtualized servers and VMware network. This provides organizations with a unified environment for managing containers and virtual machines.

Kubernetes provides powerful tools for container management, including application lifecycle management, scaling, dependency management, and more. VMware products like Tanzu enable advanced network virtualization for Kubernetes, which includes network management, routing, security and more. Kubernetes on VMware infrastructure enables dynamic scaling applications based on traffic load.

Choosing Kubernetes as the orchestrator for containers on VMware infrastructure can help you gain the benefits of containerization and cloud-native technologies within your existing VMware virtualization environment. This will achieve efficient application management and improved flexibility and scalability.
