VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition (TKGI) enables operators to configure, operate and manage enterprise-grade Kubernetes clusters using BOSH and Ops Manager.
VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition (formerly VMware Enterprise PKS) is a Kubernetes-based container solution with advanced networking, private container registry, and lifecycle management.
overview
Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition deploys Kubernetes to BOSH and Ops Manager , and uses On-Demand Broker to dynamically instantiate, deploy, and manage highly available Kubernetes clusters on-premises or on the public cloud.
After an operator installs TKGI, developers can use the TKGI Command Line Interface (TKGI CLI) to configure a Kubernetes cluster (sysin) and run container-based workloads on the cluster using kubectl .
Operators install TKGI as a tile on the Ops Manager installation dashboard, or from the TKGI management console on vSphere.
You can run TKGI standalone or on Operations Manager with VMware Tanzu Application Services for VMs.
Architecture overview
A Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition environment consists of a TKGI control plane and one or more workload clusters.
Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition administrators use TKGI Control Plane to deploy and manage Kubernetes clusters. Workload clusters run applications pushed by developers.
The following example illustrates the interaction between Tanzu Kubernetes Grid integration components:
Administrators access the TKGI control plane through the TKGI Command Line Interface (TKGI CLI) installed on their local workstations.
Within the TKGI control plane, the TKGI API and TKGI Broker use BOSH to perform requested cluster management functions (sysin). For information on the TKGI control plane, see the TKGI control plane overview below . See Installing the TKGI CLI for instructions on installing the TKGI CLI .
Kubernetes deploys and manages workloads on Kubernetes clusters. Administrators use the Kubernetes CLI, kubectl, to instruct Kubernetes from their local workstations. For information kubectl, see Overview of kubectl in the Kubernetes documentation.
