Pivotal Platform - December Release A First Look

SpringOne 2021 Session Title: Modern Application Configuration in Kubernetes Speaker: Craig Walls, Engineer at VMware

The document provides an overview of VMware Tanzu, a comprehensive software stack for modernizing applications. Tanzu allows customers to build modern software using containers and microservices, run applications on Kubernetes infrastructure across multiple clouds, and manage applications centrally across multiple clusters and clouds. The presentation agenda covers Tanzu overview, vSphere 7 with Kubernetes, Tanzu Mission Control for management and observability, and takes questions. It positions Tanzu as enabling customers to modernize both applications and infrastructure with solutions for building, running, and managing containerized applications on Kubernetes.

This document discusses how user-centered design was used to drive impactful products and services. It describes how VMware Pivotal Labs uses techniques like stakeholder interviews, user interviews, persona creation, prioritization, roadmapping, and design studios to understand user needs and inform the direction of projects. The goal is to start simply, learn through doing, and adapt based on new insights to build solutions that deliver business value. A navigator helps translate business problems into actionable user stories to guide development.

Kubernetes might be a dream for operations teams willing to learn its intricacies, but it can be a nightmare for developers whose primary goal is getting working applications into production. Spring Cloud Kubernetes addresses developers’ needs by making it simple to deploy Spring Cloud and Spring Boot applications into Kubernetes environments. This webinar will explore some key Spring Cloud Kubernetes concepts and demonstrate the process of porting an existing application onto a Kubernetes cluster.

VMware TAS played a critical role for Albertsons during the COVID-19 pandemic by helping them scale their e-commerce systems to meet a 700% increase in online orders without any downtime. Albertsons projected e-commerce load increased by 75% during shelter-in-place but actual load increased by over 700% and orders grew to over 100,000 per day. The VMware and Albertsons teams worked closely together to ensure systems had adequate monitoring and auto-scaling to handle the exponential growth in demand without issues. This case study highlights how VMware technologies helped a major retailer adapt and succeed during an unprecedented time.

The document discusses VMware Enterprise PKS, a turnkey solution for deploying and managing Kubernetes clusters in production environments. It addresses common challenges in running Kubernetes at scale, such as complexity, networking, storage, monitoring, logging, and security. VMware Enterprise PKS provides capabilities like on-demand cluster provisioning, integration with NSX-T for networking and security, persistent storage options, and monitoring and logging tools from the VMware portfolio. The solution aims to simplify operations of Kubernetes and provide an enterprise-grade platform for running containerized workloads.

Tomas Pizarro Moreno presented best practices for maintaining a Helm chart repository. He discussed storing charts in services like AWS S3, GitHub Pages, or Harbor. It is important to thoroughly test charts by running linting, installing with different configurations, and performing verification and functional tests. Charts also need ongoing maintenance like keeping dependent Docker images up-to-date and addressing user feedback. Finally, charts should be published to directories like Helm Hub to make them discoverable.

This document provides a summary of a presentation on VMware Tanzu Service Mesh (TSM) from the developer perspective. It begins with a refresher on service meshes and then discusses how TSM can provide new abstractions like global namespaces that decouple applications from infrastructure. TSM aims to connect, control, monitor and manage services across platforms and clouds through a centralized service mesh. The presentation demonstrates TSM features through a demo and discusses alternatives to TSM. It concludes by emphasizing that higher level abstractions help developers focus on their work and that TSM builds on service meshes to create useful new constructs while remaining invisible to developers.

This document outlines the agenda for an Azure Spring Cloud workshop on June 17, 2020. The agenda includes topics on welcome and setup, Azure Spring Cloud introduction, hands-on sessions with Azure Spring Cloud, case studies and demos, and a closing session. The workshop will be led by Adib and Asir and include coaching support.

This document appears to be from a VMware Tanzu Developer Connect presentation. It discusses Tanzu Application Platform (TAP), which provides a developer experience on Kubernetes across multiple clouds. TAP aims to unlock developer productivity, build rapid paths to production, and coordinate the work of development, security and operations teams. It offers features like pre-configured templates, integrated developer tools, centralized visibility and workload status, role-based access control, automated pipelines and built-in security. The presentation provides examples of how these capabilities improve experiences for developers, operations teams and security teams.

This document discusses strategies for modernizing applications and replatforming them using Project Kubernetes Service (PKS). It outlines how companies have different options for packaging and running workloads, such as using containers, microservices, serverless functions, and monolithic applications. PKS aims to provide the right runtime for each workload type. The document compares container orchestrators, application platforms, and serverless functions, noting that PKS aims to push workloads higher in the platform hierarchy for more flexibility and less enforcement of standards while lowering development complexity and improving operational efficiency. It provides recommendations for getting started with migrating workloads to PKS, such as lifting and shifting applications with minimal modernization, leveraging platform capabilities, and fully modernizing

The document discusses several compelling reasons for automating projects involving middleware upgrades, migrations between platforms, and building private clouds and core application upgrades. It notes that automation can speed up projects, reduce risks, and make managing hybrid environments easier. A specific .NET plugin for the RapidDeploy automation tool is also described that allows managing and deploying to multiple IIS environments from version 6 through 8 to take advantage of new features and upgrade servers in a safe and efficient manner.

The document discusses the benefits of automating various IT projects and processes using automation tools. It describes how automation can speed up and reduce risks associated with middleware upgrades, migrating applications to open-source or less expensive platforms, building private clouds, upgrading core applications, platform migrations, and rearchitecting IT infrastructures. The document then summarizes the RapidDeploy plugin for JBoss, which provides tasks to install, configure, deploy applications to JBoss Application Server and Enterprise Application Platform, take configuration snapshots, and more.
