Optimize the evolution of compute

Compute Is Provided by vSphere

VMware Enterprise PKS deploys control plane elements as well as Kubernetes nodes as Virtual Machines

DRS, HA and vMotion make Kubernetes more resilient to hardware failures and/or changes/upgrades

vSphere Scheduler and NUMA optimization for max performance

Intuitive, familiar and feature rich interface for day-1 and day-2 operations

Run more Kubernetes clusters with less hardware resources

vSphere Cluster pools servers for better resource utilization and simplified scaling

• No external storage system needed

• Raid configs provide data redundancy

• A single vSAN/VMFS datastore can be used for both Virtual Machines as well as provide persistent volumes for Containers

- On-demand scaling of worker nodes

- pks resize C01 --num-nodes 5

- Automatically detect VM failure and redeploy new VM

- Traceflow for troubleshooting network flow

- Port mirroring for troubleshooting or compliance

- vRealize Network Insight for monitoring network flow and proposing firewall rules

- vRealize Operations Manager has a container management pack
