This course prepares you for the VMware vSphere with Tanzu Specialist certification , focusing on Kubernetes integration, containerized workload management, cluster deployment, security, automation, and troubleshooting within vSphere 8.x environments. Designed for virtualization engineers, cloud administrators, DevOps professionals, and system architects, it aligns with official VMware exam objectives and equips you with the skills to deploy, configure, and manage Tanzu Kubernetes clusters on vSphere.

The course provides an in-depth understanding of vSphere with Tanzu architecture and teaches you how to enable, configure, and optimize Kubernetes clusters for modern application delivery. You’ll also learn to integrate Tanzu with vSAN, NSX-T, Harbor, vSphere Pods, and other VMware ecosystem components to build a scalable, secure, and automated Kubernetes infrastructure.

Key topics include:

• vSphere with Tanzu architecture: components, control planes, and deployment strategies

• Enabling Workload Management: configuring supervisors and namespaces

• Kubernetes cluster provisioning: deploying, scaling, and securing Tanzu clusters

• Containerized workload orchestration: managing Pods, Services, and persistent storage

• NSX-T & networking integration: securing Kubernetes environments with micro-segmentation

• Harbor registry management: storing, scanning, and securing container images

• Monitoring & optimization: using vSphere tools to track cluster health and performance

• Troubleshooting Tanzu environments: resolving cluster, networking, and workload issues
