Lab Guidance
Kubernetes is fast becoming the standard for enterprise container orchestration and VMware is a major contributor in this space. In this lab you will be exposed to the VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Management Console allowing you to quickly and easily deploy and manage clusters and nodes as part of your Kubernetes cluster running on TKGI.
This lab leverages Module 6 from the TKGI 2131 Hands On Lab.
2131 Lab Module List:
• Module 1 - Introduction to Kubernetes (45 minutes) (Advanced) You will learn what container orchestration with Kubernetes is all about. Terminology is a barrier to understanding technology and the fundamental components of the Kubernetes platform will be explained in detail. This module contains no lab steps but will provide you with a foundational understanding that will make the other modules more intuitive. • Module 2 - Introduction to Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated (TKGI) (45 minutes) (Advanced) Operationalizing Kubernetes at scale is not for the faint of heart. TKGI is a purpose built service to deploy and manage Kubernetes clusters. This module will introduce TKGI, showing the capabilities to extend High Availability, scale, health monitoring and lifecycle management to Kubernetes. • Module 3 - Kubernetes Deep Dive (45 minutes) (Advanced) This module is pure Kubernetes lab work. You will use the kubectl CLI to manipulate the Kubernetes components you read about in Module 1. You will create the deployment that defines the pods and services that make up your nginx webserver application. You will scale the application both up and down - adding pods to provide either increased capacity or availability. By the end you should be very comfortable with manipulating your application components through the CLI. • Module 4 - Deploy and Manage Multi-tiered Application (30 minutes) (Advanced) This module can be taken independently from the first two, but builds on the knowledge gained there to deploy a more complex application. You will see the components of a web-based restaurant rating system application that includes a backend database. Once your application is deployed, you will upgrade to a newer version with no downtime, and will subsequently roll the upgrade back - again without downtime. • Module 5 - TKGI Octant Dashboard (30 minutes) (Advanced) This module can be taken independently from other modules however since it provides visibility into your Kubernetes cluster it's beneficial to have taken Modules 3 and 4 to have some meaningful data to review in the dashboard.
HOL-2131-91-MAP Page 3 HOL-2131-91-MAP
In this module you will be introduced to Octant,an open source developer- centric web interface for Kubernetes that lets you inspect a Kubernetes cluster and its applications. • Module 6 - Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Management Console - (30 minutes) (Advanced) This module can be taken independently from other modules since it does not depend on any of the pods which you will be creating in Modules 3 and 4. This module introduces you to the capabilities of the Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Management Console, a new feature in this release of TKGI the management console provides a GUI for managing users, viewing the clusters and nodes and performing updates on TKGI.Introduction to The Kubernetes UI And Monitoring • (30 minutes) (Advanced)Dashboard is a web-based Kubernetes user interface. You can use Dashboard to deploy containerized applications to a Kubernetes cluster, troubleshoot your containerized application, and manage the cluster resources. You can use Dashboard to get an overview of applications running on your cluster, as well as for creating or modifying individual Kubernetes resources (such as Deployments, Jobs, DaemonSets, etc). For example, you can scale a Deployment, initiate a rolling update, restart a pod or deploy new applications using a deploy wizard. Dashboard also provides information on the state of Kubernetes resources in your cluster and on any errors that may have occurred. Prometheus is a popular metrics collecting application, Prometheus is used to collect metrics from Kubernetes Cluster, Nodes, Pods and Services and export the Metrics. The Prometheus dashboard is very metrics driven so frequently Prometheus is used with the Grafana Metrics UI to provide a more visual, dashboard driven view of the data collected by Prometheus and other metrics agents. • Module 8 - Using Log Insight With TKGI - (15 minutes) (Advanced) VMware vRealize Log Insight gives administrators the ability to consolidate logs, monitor and troubleshoot vSphere and third-party infrastructure, and perform security auditing, compliance testing, log querying, aggregation, correlation, and retention. The vRealize Log Insight virtual appliance includes a syslog server, log consolidation tool, and log analysis tool that will work for any type of device that can send syslog data. vRealize Log Insight administrators can also create custom dashboards based on saved queries that can be exported, shared, and integrated with TKGI gives administrators the ability to view kubernetes constructs as well. • Module 9 - VMware Tanzu Modern Applications Ninja Program - (15 minutes ) This module is independent of any module in this lab, it connects you to some outside resources where you can sign up for the VMware Modern Applications Ninja Program, this effort originated as a internal VMware training program and has now expanded it's scope to allow anybody to join. The VMware Modern Applications Ninja Program provides educational resources as well as a forum to communicate with VMware Modern Applications engineers and other people in the Modern Applications Community

If you have taken other Hands On Labs feel free to skip the remainder of this section and proceed to the next section of this module.
Location of the Main Console
1. The area in the RED box contains the Main Console. The Lab Manual is on the tab to the Right of the Main Console. 2. A particular lab may have additional consoles found on separate tabs in the upper left. You will be directed to open another specific console if needed. 3. Your lab starts with 90 minutes on the timer. The lab can not be saved. All your work must be done during the lab session. But you can click the EXTEND to increase your time. If you are at a VMware event, you can extend your lab time twice, for up to 30 minutes. Each click gives you an additional 15 minutes.
HOL-2131-91-MAP Page 5 HOL-2131-91-MAP
Outside of VMware events, you can extend your lab time up to 9 hours and 30 minutes. Each click gives you an additional hour.
Alternate Methods of Keyboard Data Entry
During this module, you will input text into the Main Console. Besides directly typing it in, there are two very helpful methods of entering data which make it easier to enter complex data.
Click and Drag Lab Manual Content Into Console Active Window

HOL-2131-91-MAP Page 7 HOL-2131-91-MAP
Activation Prompt or Watermark
When you first start your lab, you may notice a watermark on the desktop indicating that Windows is not activated.
One of the major benefits of virtualization is that virtual machines can be moved and run on any platform. The Hands-on Labs utilizes this benefit and we are able to run the labs out of multiple datacenters. However, these datacenters may not have identical processors, which triggers a Microsoft activation check through the Internet.
Rest assured, VMware and the Hands-on Labs are in full compliance with Microsoft licensing requirements. The lab that you are using is a self-contained pod and does not have full access to the Internet, which is required for Windows to verify the activation. Without full access to the Internet, this automated process fails and you see this watermark.
This cosmetic issue has no effect on your lab.
Look at the lower right portion of the screen
HOL-2131-91-MAP Page 8 HOL-2131-91-MAP
Please check to see that your lab has finished all the startup routines and is ready for you to start. If you see anything other than "Ready", please wait a few minutes. If after 5 minutes your lab has not changed to "Ready", please ask for assistance.

Module 1 - Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Management Console
HOL-2131-91-MAP Page 11 HOL-2131-91-MAP
Introduction to The TKGI Management Console
One of the key features of the VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated (TKGI) Product is it's ability to provide lifecycle management of Kubernetes, while Kubernetes monitors individual clusters, TKGI includes Bosh, a function that monitors the health of Kubernetes. In addition to monitoring Kubernetes, Bosh also provides lifecycle management of TKGI. If you have taken previous modules in the Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated (TKGI) Lab you were briefly introduced to Bosh in that labs Module 2 where you saw how Bosh restarted a VM which was deleted. In addition to monitoring Bosh also provides lifecycle management for TKGI.
BOSH is a project that unifies eleaser engineering, deployment, and lifecycle management of small and large-scale cloud software. BOSH can provision and deploy software over hundreds of VMs. It also performs monitoring, failure recovery, and software updates with zero-to-minimal downtime.
While BOSH was developed to deploy Cloud Foundry PaaS, it can also be used to deploy almost any other software (Hadoop, for instance). BOSH is particularly well-suited for large distributed systems. In addition, BOSH supports multiple Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) providers like VMware vSphere, Google Cloud Platform, Amazon Web Services EC2, Microsoft Azure, OpenStack, and Alibaba Cloud. There is a Cloud Provider Interface (CPI) that enables users to extend BOSH to support additional IaaS providers such as Apache CloudStack and VirtualBox.
In TKGI, Bosh is used to install TKGI and provide lifecycle management (upgrades, modifications, etc). Bosh uses Operations Manager, a GUI application that streamlines deployment, management, monitoring and upgrades of TKGI.
Before accessing the TKGI Management console lets explore Operations Manager (OpsMan)
HOL-2131-91-MAP Page 12 HOL-2131-91-MAP
Opening the Operations Manager (OpsMan) Console
1. If you do not already have a Chrome Browser open, Open a Chrome browser.
HOL-2131-91-MAP Page 13 HOL-2131-91-MAP
1. Click on the Ops Manager tab on your Chrome browser to open a window to Ops Manager
HOL-2131-91-MAP Page 14 HOL-2131-91-MAP
1. If you do not have the password.txt file open from a previous modulem click on the password.txt file on your student desktop to open the file with notepad.
HOL-2131-91-MAP Page 15 HOL-2131-91-MAP
1. Highlight the text after "opsman password" Do not include the "-" and take care just to highlight the text as spaces before or after the text as this will cause the authentication to fail.
1. Click "Edit" on Notepad to open the edit menu. 2. Click "Copy" to copy the text to the clipboard.
HOL-2131-91-MAP Page 16 HOL-2131-91-MAP
Starting The Operations Manager Authentication System
1. Paste the password you copied previously 2. Hit "Login"
HOL-2131-91-MAP Page 17 HOL-2131-91-MAP
After providing the initial password, wait for OpsMan to start the authentication system. Be patient this will take a minute or two ....
1. Enter "admin" Note: The box will ask for a email, just use "admin" for this example. 2. Paste the password you copied from the password.txt file in the previous step. 3. Hit "SIGN IN"
HOL-2131-91-MAP Page 18 HOL-2131-91-MAP
This is the Ops Manager main dashboard, here is where the Magic Happens !! If you were installing Bosh or TKGI for the first time you would click the appropriate tile and input the information required for the initial build of the products.
For changes or upgrades you would also go to the relevant tile to modify the appropriate settings.
If you wanted to add a product to the install you would click the "IMPORT A PRODUCT" tile.
Exploring Operations Manager
HOL-2131-91-MAP Page 19 HOL-2131-91-MAP
Lets take a brief walk through Ops Manager and explore some of the capabilities of BOSH.
1. Click on the "BOSH Director for vSphere" tile.
The Credentials tab displays the credentials used for the components which were built by Bosh for the TKGI Installation.
1. Click the "Credentials" tab.
HOL-2131-91-MAP Page 20 HOL-2131-91-MAP
Check The Status of BOSH
The Status tab displays the current status of Bosh.
1. Click the "Status" tab to see the status of BOSH.
HOL-2131-91-MAP Page 21 HOL-2131-91-MAP
Check BOSH Settings
1. Settings displays the settings which were used for this deployment of Bosh, if you needed to modify these settings you would make the appropriate changes here. Note: This is a lab environment with limited resources and is not intended for modification or upgrade. The following steps walk you thru how the modification/upgrade process for Bosh would work do not execute these steps as your lab will FAIL.
HOL-2131-91-MAP Page 22 HOL-2131-91-MAP
Adding A Syslog Server
For example lets say we wanted to add a Syslog server to capture and export the events from BOSH. If you have taken other modules in this lab you may have seen the integration if TKGI with VMware LogInsight, such a integration requires that a syslog server be Scroll down the Settings page to "Syslog".
1. Click Syslog.
You'll see the options for setting up a syslog server, again DO NOT CHANGE any of these settings this is for example purposes only. Here we've configured a Syslog server so that we can review any changes made by BOSH, in the case of this lab we'll view these with VMware vRealize Log Insight.
Configuring BOSH orF High Availability
If this were a production environment you may want multiple instances of BOSH running. BOSH supports the ability to run multiple instances of BOSH in different "Availability Zones" or AZ. An availability zone represents a separated set of cloud resources (typically compute, networking and storage) such that failures in one AZ cause minimal impact in a different AZ. You may have to scroll up from "Syslog" to the "Assign AZs and Networks".
HOL-2131-91-MAP Page 23 HOL-2131-91-MAP
HOL-2131-91-MAP Page 24 HOL-2131-91-MAP
You may have to scroll up from "Syslog" to the "Assign AZs and Networks".
1. Click "Assign AZs and Networks".
You will notice that we have BOSH deployed in a single AZ, since this lab has limited resources and limited access to the internet it was not feasible to deploy this lab using a second AZ. However in production it would be recommended to deploy BOSH across multiple Availability Zones such that it is highly available.
Here you would add additional availability zones.
In a real production environment if you were to make changes to BOSH you would click "Save".
1. When done, you would scroll down and hit "Save".
Do Not Hit Save -- This is a limited environment and hitting Save will cause an error.
HOL-2131-91-MAP Page 25 HOL-2131-91-MAP
