vSphere with Kubernetes workload domains

  • SDDC Manager supports VI workload domain configurations that provide the infrastructure foundation required by vSphere with Kubernetes. A VI workload domain configured for Kubernetes transforms the vSphere platform into a platform for running Kubernetes workloads natively on the hypervisor layer. If there is a use case requirement for vSphere with Kubernetes, the following items must be considered:

    • All the nodes in the VxRail cluster supporting the VI workload domain must have a vSphere with Kubernetes license.
    • An NSX edge cluster must be available to the vSphere with Kubernetes workload domain for networking purposes.
    • The NSX edge cluster requires connectivity upstream using eBGP. Plan on preparing the upstream network for BGP peering and route distribution.
    • Additional IP addresses specific for vSphere with Kubernetes will be required when the VI workload domain is configured.
    • Non-routable subnet for pod networking (minimum /22)
    • Non-routable subnet for service IP addresses (minimum /24)
    • Routable subnets for ingress and egress for the NSX edge cluster (minimum /27).
