VMware Tanzu MySQL Operator on vSphere with Tanzu

This weeking I decided to play a little with the VMware Tanzu MySQL that is still on beta deploying it to my vSphere with Tanzu Basic infrastructure. I used as guide the official documentation so if you want more details you can go there. In this blog I’m documenting the specifics or my testing so if you want to follow you will require the following prerequisites:

Prerequisites:

Access to Tanzu MySQL for Kubernetes in VMware Tanzu Network Registry.
Helm installed in your machine.
Kubectl
Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Service in my case, vSphere with Tanzu Basic (without NSX-T)

VMware Certified Master Specialist – Cloud Native, I did it!

I did it!, Yesterday I passed the exam. This was a challenging one, time almost ran out… there was some different topics that went to levels I was not expecting. I guess that is what you get when you do a Master level cert!

I will write my lessons learned so hopefully I can help someone trying to achieve this certification… keep you posted! Master Skill Unlocked!

Deploying Tanzu Application Service for Kubernetes on Kind

Tanzu Application Service for Kubernetes brings the development experience of Tanzu Application Service (formerly called Pivotal Application Service, and before that Pivotal CloudFoundry) to the Kubernetes container orchestrator. It includes the most important features of Tanzu Application Service, such as cf push for buildpack-based apps, while running both the system components and the application instances as Kubernetes workloads.

TAS for Kubernetes is something I have been trying to test for a while. It moved from alpha version to beta on the 14th of April, so it has been open for testing for more than a month now.
