Containers and container management are changing the way applications and services are developed and delivered to businesses globally. In most instances, automated deployment, scaling, management, and orchestration of containerized applications becomes a necessity. Kubernetes is an open-source orchestrator for deploying containerized applications. It was originally developed by Google, inspired by a decade of experience deploying scalable, reliable systems in containers by using application-oriented APIs. (Burns, Beda, & Hightower, 2019)
VMware vSphere with Tanzu transforms a vSphere cluster into developer-ready infrastructure with the ability to run Kubernetes workloads managed by a Kubernetes control plane in the hypervisor. Dell PowerStore unified storage arrays support the block, file, and vVol storage types used by vSphere with Tanzu and VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Service (TKG) clusters. Combining vSphere with Tanzu and Dell PowerStore is a good fit for modernized applications.
