vSphere with Tanzu (VKS) integration with NSX-T Part-7
vSphere with Tanzu (VKS) integration with NSX-T Part-7 In this series of blogs, we have seen how to deploy various Tanzu components. This includes enabling vSphere with Tanzu using NSX-T. It also includes vSphere with Tanzu using an external load balancer, which is AVI in this case. We also covered creating our first namespace on vSphere with Tanzu. To give granular control on the namespace, we have restricted the access of it, capped resource limits and Continue reading

vSphere with Tanzu (VKS) integration with NSX-T Part-1
vSphere with Tanzu (VKS) integration with NSX-T Part-1 Introduction In this series of blog, we will discuss how “vSphere with Tanzu” will be integrated with NSX-T. To use the functionality of NSX-T, we will activate workload management on the vsphere cluster. This will provision Kubernetes services on the compute cluster. vSphere with Tanzu uses NSX-T for Continue reading

Migrating NSX-V backed Org vDC to NSX-T using open source migration tool Part-3
Introduction In the first part of this series, we successfully completed the prerequisites. These included preparing the cluster for NSX-T, creating edges for Tier-0 and L2 bridge, and creating the Tier-0 gateway. We also configured BGP and route redistribution. In the vCenter, we configured a resource pool on the NSX-T prepared cluster. Additionally, we set up one dummy network (port-group) on the NSX-V prepared cluster. We successfully imported necessary vCenter and the NSX-T objects in the vCD like Provider gateway, External network, and Provider vDC. Continue reading

Migrating NSX-V backed Org vDC to NSX-T using open source migration tool Part-2
Introduction In the last blog, we have successfully completed the pre-requisites like preparing the cluster for NSX-T, creating edges for Tier-0 and L2 bridge, creating the Tier-0 gateway and configuring BGP, route redistribution, In the vCenter, we have already configured a resource pool on the NSX-T prepared cluster and one dummy network on the NSX-V prepared cluster (This network is very useful whenever we perform the gateway and services cutover from V2T). At the end, we imported Continue reading

IDS IPS on NSX-T for East-West Traffic and Automating it via Terraform
Introduction This blog will discuss on how an IPS and IDS for East-West traffic will work in NSX-T. The blog also elaborates on steps required to enable and configure IDS/IPS through Terraform and the necessary steps required to configure on the NSX-T Manager to protect the VMs on the host enabled for it. In order Continue reading

L2VPN Between On-Premises to VMC on AWS
Introduction In this blog, we will discuss the extension of layer-2 from on premises (legacy DC) to new data centers either on cloud like AVS, VMC on AWS, GCVE, OCVMS, and on new premises DC based on NSX-T. This solution is very useful incase, VMs need to be migrated from old DC to new DC, Continue reading

Infrastructure as a Code- Configuring Tier-0 Gateway HA VIP using Terraform
Introduction In this blog, we will configure Tier-0 gateway as active-standby and leverage the HA VIP to configure static routing and VIP address on it using terraform. We have already discussed about terraform couple of times. Please refer below blogs, in which we already showcased configuration of NSX-T logical constructs using terraform (https://vxlearners.com/2023/09/08/infrastructure-as-a-code-automating-nsx-t-via-terraform/) Topology Diagram Continue reading

Infrastructure as a Code- Automating integration of NSX-T with NSX ALB via Terraform-Part-3
In the first blog, we had successfully deployed NSX-T logical segments, Tier-1 gateway, and a DHCP server using terraform. We had also used existing Tier-0 gateway, edge cluster, transport zone. BGP is already configured between tier-0 gateway and upstream router. (https://vxlearners.com/2024/01/25/infrastructure-as-a-code-automating-integration-of-nsx-t-with-nsx-alb-via-terraform-part-1/). In the last blog, we have successfully deployed NSX-T, vSphere user credentials, a NSX-T cloud Continue reading

Infrastructure as a Code- Automating integration of NSX-T with NSX ALB via Terraform-Part-2
In the last blog, we configured NSX-T logical components which are essential to configure the NSX-T cloud connector in the NSX ALB Controller like logical segments, Tier-1 gateway, and DHCP server via Terraform(https://vxlearners.com/2024/01/25/infrastructure-as-a-code-automating-integration-of-nsx-t-with-nsx-alb-via-terraform-part-1/). In our environment, Tier-0 gateway, Edge Cluster, and transport zones were already configured. We have leveraged the existing NSX-T and vSphere components.(We Continue reading
