Starting with NSX-T 3.2 its now possible to act as central security control plane for Antrea enabled k8s clusters. This post shows how to set up and gives a short introduction how it works. Prerequisites: have NSX-T 3.2 up and running Prepare 3 Ubuntu 18.04 VMs (4 CPU, 4GB RAM, 25GB Storage), minimum install with… Read More »
Introduction If you have been following the blog posts on this site, we implemented NSX-T with Openshift 4.6 with NCP’s support for Openshift operators (see https://www.vrealize.it/2021/03/24/nsx-t-ncp-integration-with-openshift-4-6-the-easy-way/) using the UPI installation. In the meantime, NCP 3.2 was released, which supports Openshift 4.7 and 4.8 and is also able to get installed through the IPI installation process.… Read More »
Introduction If you have been following the blog posts on this site, we implemented NSX-T with Openshift 4.4 with NCP’s support for Openshift operators (see https://www.vrealize.it/2020/09/29/nsx-t-ncp-integration-with-openshift-4-4-the-easy-way). In the meantime, NCP 3.1.1 was released, which supports Openshift 4.6. Since 4.6 involves a new ignition format version, I took that opportunity to refresh this blog, to add… Read More »
Introduction In my previous post, we implemented NSX-T with Openshift 4 based without NCP’s support for Openshift operators (see https://www.vrealize.it/2020/07/15/nsx-t-ncp-integration-with-openshift-4-3-the-hard-way/). In the meantime, NCP 3.0.2 was released, which is implemented using an Openshift operator. The operator is also published on the Redhat Openshift Operator Hub (https://catalog.redhat.com/software/operators/detail/5ef0f362701a9cb8c147cf4b). That makes the installation way more simple, as you… Read More »
Introduction Today, we’ll take a look at how to implement NSX-T’s container integration with Redhat Openshift 4.3.Before we begin, let me quickly explain why this blog post is called “The Hard Way”. Today with NSX-T 3.0 and NCP 3.0.1, support for Redhat Openshift can be provided by configuring the corresponding network config files during Openshift’s… Read More »
This post shows how to integrate Kubernetes (1.18) running in vSphere 6.7 hosted Ubuntu 18.04 VMs with VMware NSX-T 3.0 This example uses the NSX NCP “shared Tier 1” topology meaning that all namespaces of the k8s cluster use the same T1 Gateway. Stateful services like Load-Balancing and NAT are applied to this T1 gateway.… Read More »
