In Ep. 37 of the vCD Roundtable, we discuss integrations and updates to Tanzu Kubernetes Grid (TKG) since it's no longer included in VCF, licensing – especially ongoing challenges – around TKGm and AVI Load Balancer, and our recommendations to navigate these changes. For service providers, licensing has never been more important! For example, TKGs is unsupported in vSphere 8 update 3, which leaves TKGm as your primary option. Our suggestion? Use supported configurations for your environment and join us for our upcoming EMEA events this October in Frankfurt! #VMware #Broadcom #Tanzu #Avi #Licensing

With VMware Cloud Director 10.6 and recent NSX releases, both networking and ALB have undergone some enhancements. In this technical Episode, the Roundtable comes together to discuss networking updates, such as the ability to import a parent T0 into a VRF, which reduces the amount of edge transport nodes; a simplification in routing, and greater permission configuration and customization. ALB, which now goes under a simplified name, has greater integration that allows for a more personalized health monitor, environment atomization, and control over IP address assignment. The Roundtable spares no details and also examines what features that they would like to see implemented. Watch now to learn more! #VMware #Broadcom #VCD10.6 #Networking #ALB

The shift to Cloud Director 10.6 has brought significant changes to how Kubernetes can be leveraged by service providers.

This Episode unpacks everything we know, as we try to help you navigate these changes through workarounds and tips. Stay tuned for more on this topic and for Ep. 34, which will focus on new network features in VCD 10.6. #VMware#Broadcom #Kubernetes #CSE #Updates #TechInsights2024
