In my earlier post, Enabling and Using the Velero Service on a vSphere 8 with Tanzu Supervisor Cluster, I walked through the process of getting the Velero service running in a vSphere 8 with Tanzu supervisor cluster. This process largely leveraged the Velero operator to ensure that all components were created properly and the Velero …

In my previous post, Installing Harbor Image Registry to a vSphere 8 with Tanzu Supervisor Cluster, I detailed the steps needed to deploy and use the Image Registry service (Harbor) in a vSphere 8 with Tanzu supervisor cluster. This same Harbor instance can be used in a TKG cluster deployed under the same supervisor cluster. …

I’ve written a few posts in the past about using packages (previously extensions) within the context of TGK clusters installed on vSphere (Upgrading from TKG 1.3 to 1.4 (including extensions) on vSphere, How to configure external-dns with Microsoft DNS in TKG 1.3 (plus Harbor and Contour), Working with TKG Extensions and Shared Services in TKG …

In my earlier post, Supervisor Cluster Namespaces and Workloads, you saw that you can run workloads in the supervisor cluster but there are some limitations. The supervisor cluster is very opinionated and you might find it difficult to get anything/everything you want to work there. With this in mind, you might find it more useful …

I’ve written about using Velero for backing up Kubernetes workloads in the past but never in regards to vSphere with Tanzu and never having used the Velero Operator (or service as it’s called in vSphere with Tanzu). Velero can be enabled as a service at the Supervisor level and provide backup and restore functionality to …

I’ve done a number of posts related to the Harbor image registry in the past but never one on enabling the Image Registry (Harbor) service on a vSphere with Tanzu supervisor cluster. I’ve done it on older versions of vSphere with Tanzu but decided to document the process in my recent vSphere 8 with Tanzu …

Following up on my previous post, vSphere 8 with Tanzu and NSX Installation, you’ll find that one of the first things you can do with Workload Management deployed is to create and use Namespaces in the Supervisor cluster. Note: Please refer to the My Environment section in my previous post, vSphere 8 with Tanzu and …
I’ve been using vSphere with Tanzu for various purposes over the last few years but have never done a complete walkthrough of the installation. With the recent release of vSphere 8 and NSX 4.1, I decided now was a great time to take that on. My Environment The following lays out some of the configuration …
In some of my previous posts, I walked through the process of installing VMware Blockchain 1.6.0.1 and backing up and restoring the same installation. The process for upgrading a VMware Blockchain installation will make use of these processes as it is a clone-based upgrade…i.e. a new deployment is created and the backup of the original …
It’s always a good idea to take a backup of your VMware Blockchain client and replica nodes prior to any kind of maintenance activity. Client node backups can be set to run on a schedule while replica nodes backups are more or a manual process. Client node backups can also be run manually should the …
