Create upstream compliant Kubernetes clusters (TKG Clusters) and VMs within dedicated resource pools 2. Run Kubernetes workloads directly on ESXi hosts (vSphere Pods) IT Operator: • Create namespaces with dedicated memory, CPU, and storage for K8s • Manage and monitor vSphere Pods, VMs, and TKCs using the same tools as with regular VMs. • Full visibility over VMs, vSphere Pods, and TKCs Developer: • Run workloads consisting of both containers and VMs on the same platform • Create and manage multiple K8s clusters inside a namespace Having Kubernetes running on the hypervisor layer eases the collaboration between vSphere administrators and DevOps teams, because both roles are working with the same objects.

32. © Copyright 2021 Dell Inc. 33 of 71 Cloud Foundation on VxRail benefits The best way to run VMware Tanzu at scale VMware Cloud Foundation on VxRail provides: 1. A proven, prescriptive approach for implementing a modern VMware based turnkey private cloud 2. Advanced automation to deploy, configure, and manage the full VMware SDDC and HCI infrastructure software and hardware stack (vSphere with Tanzu, vSAN, NSX, VxRail software and hardware firmware) IT Operator: • Easily allocate and manage infrastructure at scale • Simplify NSX-T deployment and configuration • Fully automated full stack lifecycle management Developer: • A consistent platform for hosting VMs, vSphere pods, and TKCs • Full access to vSphere with K8s to include Cloud Native Storage (vSAN) • A highly responsive IT Infrastructure team w/ response times measured in minutes vs. days Running VCF with Tanzu on VxRail provides a best-in-class modern turnkey hybrid cloud platform for hosting both traditional and modern application workloads.
