The seamless integration ofKubernetesvia VMware Tanzu makes it extremely easy to integrate the container environment into the existing architecture. This allows direct access to the containerized applications from the existing infrastructure.
VMware Tanzu makes it very easy to integrate Kubernetes container environments into existing structures and architectures. The VMware NSX network stack allows Kubernetes instances to be integrated into the same networks as the virtual machines inNetstream Virtual Data CenterNetstream VDC). This offers the major advantage of allowing direct access to new containerized applications from the existing infrastructure. This means that no complex network configurations are necessary to use Kubernetes.
Containerization allows updates for your applications and environments to be installed through a simple deployment process. Activate as many new instances as you need and scale quickly and flexibly in both directions at any time. When workloads are no longer needed, unused environments can be shut down quickly. This saves resources and costs, allowing you to adapt quickly to your needs.
Native integration into theNetstream Cloud
Thanksto VMware Tanzu's Kubernetes stack, there is no need for manual installation and operation of Kubernetes clusters, as these are alreadyCloud on a dedicated basis by theNetstream Cloud . Nevertheless, the dedicated Kubernetes environment gives customers full control over all Kubernetes functions. Furthermore, there are no additional costs for the Kubernetes platform. You only pay for the resources you use from the VDC.
Application example: Replacement of virtual machines with containers
For example, replacevirtual machineswith Kubernetes containers. This allows applications to be deployed in containers. This replaces the virtual machines as interfaces. The new containers can be scaled flexibly as needed and according to utilization—in both directions. Scaling can even be automated. Access to databases or data storage then works via a backend network directly into the VDC.
