VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid: Install, Configure, Manage [V2.0]

Instructor-Led 13 Agenda

Description

During this four-day course, you focus on installing VMware Tanzu® Kubernetes Grid™ in a VMware vSphere® environment and provisioning and managing Tanzu Kubernetes Grid clusters. The course covers how to install Tanzu Kubernetes Grid packages for image registry, authentication, logging, ingress, multipod network interfaces, service discovery, and monitoring. The concepts learned in this course are transferable for users who must install Tanzu Kubernetes Grid on other supported clouds.

Course Overview

Course Objective

By the end of the course, you should be able to meet the following objectives: Describe how Tanzu Kubernetes Grid fits in the VMware Tanzu® portfolio Describe the Tanzu Kubernetes Grid architecture Deploy and manage Tanzu Kubernetes Grid management and supervisor clusters Deploy and manage Tanzu Kubernetes Grid workload clusters Deploy, configure, and manage Tanzu Kubernetes Grid packages Perform basic troubleshooting
