VMware vSphere with Kubernetes is simply a re-architecture of vSphere that utilizes Kubernetes as the control plane. This solution is uniquely suited for running traditional workloads and modern, cloud native applications. It allows developers to use the familiar Kubernetes API to manage cloud resources—such as virtual machines (VMs), disks and networks—while enabling virtualization admins to manage the entire application rather than deal with individual VMs.
Software-defined networking (SDN) is a core infrastructure primitive that touches all aspects of the fabric (hypervisors, VMs, containers, guest clusters, etc.). This allows for uniform security policy, controls and network abstraction, enabling seamless connectivity and built-in security. VMware NSX provides full-stack networking and security for vSphere with Kubernetes.
From micro-segmentation and load balancing to service mesh, NSX enables enterprises to connect and protect their microservices and workloads running in containers and VMs. Enterprises can extend consistent policies across app environments and simplify Day 0 to Day 2 operations, while delivering agility and performance.
Developers gain instant access to the tools they need to build and run applications on their choice of computer platforms and across multi-cloud solutions. When networking and security are defined and consumed in software, admins and developers can work at the same speed and drive toward common business objectives.
