When deploying applications on VMware vSphere Kubernetes Service (VKS), one of the questions that often comes up is how applications are exposed outside the Kubernetes cluster. Kubernetes provides the concepts needed to expose applications, such as Service and Ingress, but…
I had the pleasure of being invited to be a guest on the VMware Podcast vBarbeque talking about VKS on VCF.
Kubernetes has become the standard platform for running containerized applications, but Kubernetes itself is only part of the story. Organizations still need to decide where Kubernetes runs, how clusters are managed, how networking and storage are provided, and who is…
As organizations modernize their application portfolios, Kubernetes has become the de facto platform for deploying and operating cloud-native applications. The challenge for many enterprises is not whether to adopt Kubernetes, but how to do so without creating additional infrastructure silos,…
For years, infrastructure transformations have largely been driven by technology. New hardware, new hypervisors, new management tools, and new architectures promised greater efficiency and scalability. Yet many organizations discovered that while the technology changed, the way they operated did not.…
Admission Control is the policy engine within VMware vSphere HA that enforces survivability guarantees.Its purpose is not performance optimization—it is risk containment. Admission Control ensures that the cluster never commits more compute resources than it can safely recover after a defined failure…
VMware stretched clusters are frequently treated as the gold standard of availability design. They promise zero recovery point objective, automated failover, and the comforting idea that an entire site can disappear without anyone noticing. In presentation decks and architecture diagrams,…
In contemporary enterprise infrastructure, security failures rarely stem from a lack of tools or controls. More often, they arise from architectural assumptions that no longer hold under modern threat conditions. One such assumption is that management systems and business workloads…
