With Kubernetes, everything from deployment to monitoring to scaling is more standardized and inherently easier to automate. This presents the possibility to achieve a more effective and comprehensive Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD) experience. We can incorporate the practice of infrastructure-as-code and take advantage of a flourishing ecosystem of tools to improve and fully automate our application deployment strategies. In this session, we'll tour the landscape of new Kubernetes-centric tooling, including Tekton, Kustomize, and ArgoCD. We'll also explore how GitOps can be leveraged for CI/CD.

Before getting started with the Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Service for vSphere, it’s good to have an understanding of the Kubernetes architecture and the underlying technology that makes it possible. Here, we give a high-level introduction to how these technologies are interconnected.

In the second video in this series, we examine some fundamentals of creating, utilizing and managing Tanzu Kubernetes Clusters with the Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Service for vSphere.

The first two videos in this series reviewed architecture and deploying a Tanzu Kubernetes Cluster with the TKG Service for vSphere. In this video, we show you examples of how to take a cluster and scale it on demand.
