Crafting Kubernetes Custom Controllers With Angela Chin

Custom controllers and custom resource definitions are all the rage in Kubernetes today! In conjunction, they allow users to extend the Kubernetes API and introduce additional features. In this session, we’ll explore both custom resource definitions and custom controllers by trying out popular projects that allow us to craft a new controller from scratch! Angela Chin is a Senior Engineer at VMware, working on Tanzu Application Service (for both VMs and Kubernetes!).

Concourse for VMware Tanzu v6.3.0 Shows That the Future Is Bright for Automation

Platform operators, you continue to amaze us. You’ve embraced DevOps and site reliability engineering. You’ve applied these philosophies to your daily work. And you’ve used Concourse CI (the “continuous thing-doer”) to address all manner of operational workflows. When we created the project in 2016, we couldn’t have imagined all the ways you’d use Concourse to deliver fantastic stability and scalability outcomes to your stakeholders.

vSphere 7 with Kubernetes Network Service, Part 2: Tanzu Kubernetes Cluster

vSphere 7 with Kubernetes enables operations teams to deliver both infrastructure and application services as part of the core platform. The Network service provides automation of software-defined networking to both the Kubernetes clusters embedded in vSphere and Tanzu Kubernetes clusters deployed through the Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Service for vSphere.

Upgrading Kubernetes the Easy Way with Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Service for vSphere

Lifecycle management is one of the most complicated components of Kubernetes. In a past article, we showed how to modify a cluster to change the type and size of its nodes. In this post, we will explain how to upgrade the Kubernetes version of a Tanzu Kubernetes cluster when there is a new release. And the best part is that it’s all done in just a few easy steps using the Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Service for vSphere.

Learn How to Build and Maintain Images with KubeAcademy's New Course

We’re excited to announce a new KubeAcademy course—Building Images. Designed for developers, devops engineers, and architects, this intermediate-level course covers different approaches for building images. Completing it will give you the skills and understanding needed to easily start building images and maintain them over time.

The CI/CD Experience: Kubernetes Edition - Fireside Chat

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.

Tanzu Tuesdays - Spring Cloud Contract with Olga Maciaszek-Sharma

How can we better collaborate on creating useful APIs? How to reduce the testing time of your application? How can the team build API backwards compatibility verification into their deployment process? In this talk, Olga will discuss how to leverage the Consumer-Driven Contracts approach to solve these and other issues and present one of CDC implementations - Spring Cloud Contract. Olga will discuss practical use-cases and look at code examples.
