Kubernetes and NSX-T – Firewall Rules with Network Policies
Overview In my previous 6 part series of articles which covered getting a Kubernetes cluster stood up and configured with NSX-T (using VMware NCP) I did some basic testing to show how the integration between the two products worked. One of the areas I did not cover was how Kubernetes can control the distributed firewall … Continue reading Kubernetes and NSX-T – Firewall Rules with Network Policies
Kubernetes and NSX-T – Part 6 Testing The Platform
Overview Welcome to the sixth part of this series of articles covering Kubernetes and NSX-T. In the last article I got as far as deploying the VMware Network Container Plugin. In this article I am going to show what the NCP deployment has done to my NSX-T install and I will be testing the platform. … Continue reading Kubernetes and NSX-T – Part 6 Testing The Platform

NSX-T – Inline and One-Arm Load Balancing Part 2
In part 1 of this mini-series I looked at how you implement a one-arm load balancing solution using NSX-T (https://vnuggets.com/2019/09/13/nsx-t-inline-and-onearm-load-balancing-part1/). In this second part I am going to switch focus to look at the inline implementation so you can see how the required components and configuration differs. Logical Architecture As a reminder from part 1, … Continue reading NSX-T – Inline and One-Arm Load Balancing Part 2
NSX-T – Inline and One-Arm Load Balancing Part 1
I've been a user of NSX-T for a while but as I'm not a networking guru I know just enough to get the job done (and enough to be dangerous) but not enough to design a large scale setup. Load balancing is something that I haven't really paid much attention to, I just accepted that … Continue reading NSX-T – Inline and One-Arm Load Balancing Part 1
