 Kubernetes 

==========

Kubernetes, often shortened to K8s, is an open-source container orchestration platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. 

It's designed to handle complex, distributed applications, especially those using microservices architectures, by providing tools for automation, service discovery, load balancing, and self-healing. 


Here's a more detailed breakdown:


Core Functionality:

Container Orchestration:

Kubernetes manages containers, which are isolated packages containing an application and its dependencies, allowing them to run consistently across different environments. 


Automation:

It automates many of the manual processes involved in deploying, scaling, and managing applications, such as rolling out updates, scaling up or down based on demand, and self-healing by restarting failed containers. 


Scalability:

Kubernetes allows applications to scale up or down easily based on resource utilization, ensuring optimal performance and resource allocation. 


Portability:

Kubernetes can run on various infrastructure, including bare metal servers, virtual machines, and public or private clouds, making applications highly portable. 


Self-Healing:

Kubernetes monitors the health of containers and automatically restarts failed ones, ensuring high availability and minimal downtime. 


Key Concepts:


Pods: The smallest deployable units in Kubernetes, grouping one or more containers that share resources. 


Services: An abstraction that exposes an application running on a set of pods, providing a stable endpoint for accessing it. 


Deployments: Manage the desired state of applications, allowing for updates and scaling. 


Nodes: The worker machines in a Kubernetes cluster, where applications run. 


Clusters: A collection of nodes managed by Kubernetes. 


Benefits:

Reduced Operational Overhead:

Kubernetes automates many tasks, freeing up developers and operations teams to focus on other priorities. 


Improved Resource Utilization:

By efficiently managing resources and scaling applications, Kubernetes helps optimize resource usage. 


Increased Reliability and Availability:

Kubernetes' self-healing capabilities and automated management ensure high availability and minimize downtime. 


Enhanced Scalability:

Kubernetes makes it easy to scale applications up or down as needed, adapting to changing demands. 


Kubernetes: Revolutionizing Industries with Powerful Features

Kubernetes is a powerful platform for managing containerized applications, offering a wide range of features and benefits for modern cloud-native development.

Quick Guide to VCF Automation for VCD Administrators

  Quick Guide to VCF Automation for VCD Administrators VMware Cloud Foundation 9 (VCF 9) has been  released  and with it comes brand new Cloud Management Platform –  VCF Automation (VCFA)  which supercedes both Aria Automation and VMware Cloud Director (VCD). This blog post is intended for those people that know VCD quite well and want to understand how is VCFA similar or different to help them quickly orient in the new direction. It should be emphasized that VCFA is a new solution and not just rebranding of an old one. However it reuses a lot of components from its predecessors. The provider part of VCFA called Tenenat Manager is based on VCD code and the UI and APIs will be familiar to VCD admins, while the tenant part inherist a lot from Aria Automation and especially for VCD end-users will look brand new. Deployment and Architecture VCFA is generaly deployed from VCF Operations Fleet Management (former Aria Suite LCM embeded in VCF Ops. Fleet Management...
  Issue with Aria Automation Custom form Multi Value Picker and Data Grid https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article?articleNumber=345960 Products VMware Aria Suite Issue/Introduction Symptoms: Getting  error " Expected Type String but was Object ", w hen trying to use Complex Types in MultiValue Picker on the Aria for Automation Custom Form. Environment VMware vRealize Automation 8.x Cause This issue has been identified where the problem appears when a single column Multi Value Picker or Data Grid is used. Resolution This is a known issue. There is a workaround.  Workaround: As a workaround, try adding one empty column in the Multivalue picker without filling the options. So we can add one more column without filling the value which will be hidden(there is a button in the designer page that will hide the column). This way the end user will receive the same view.
