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 – Certification Guide

As promised I will try to share my experience with the Vmware Certified Master Specialist – 5V0-71.19. This is the first VMware exam that I do that don’t have an associated curriculum, and as this is also a new exam so I didn’t find any guide on how to get prepared. My hope is this helps somebody getting prepared for the exam.

CI/CD Pipeline with Jenkins running on Kubernetes and Deploying to Kubernetes.

This week I had a call with a customer to discuss about how we can help them with their DevOps initiatives. I introduced to them the concepts of microservices, containers and Kubernetes, but at the end they where still struggling to understand how all the different technologies fit together.

I proposed to do a workshop and show them the whole process of placing an app in a container and running it in Kubernetes. But hey, that’s not they way the should be doing it a the end right? The whole idea of DevOps is to have an automated pipeline: to go from code, to container, to production automatically, using the concept of CI/CD – Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment.
