Enterprise PKS Management Console installed, What now ? concept for a customer and instead of installing all the components, ops manager, ops director, tiles, individually I decided to use the Enterprise PKS Management Console. If you have not heard about it yet, it’s a single OVA that provides a unified installation in an automated way, which simplifies and expedite a lot the process of making PKS available. But this post is more related to day 2, once everything is installed what now ?!?!? solution and the need to install some tools like Bosh CLI, UaaC CLI e PKS CLI. While those tools still exist and are needed, I found the use of Enterprise PKS Management Console a lot more simple, Bosh CLI and PKS CLI are already installed on the…Read More

Getting started with VCF Part 8 – PKS Certificates

I decided to dedicate a post to taking care of the Enterprise PKS prerequisites when deploying on VMware Cloud Foundation, namely the creation of the various certificates needed for trusted communication between the Enterprise PKS components (Operations Manager, BOSH, PKS and Harbor) and the rest of the environment. Unfortunately, the official VCF 3.9 documentation is a little light on the subject, simply stating that you should ‘Generate CA-Signed Certificates for Operations Manager, BOSH…Read More

If you been following my adventures of deploying Enterprise PKS 1.5 on VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 3.9, you will be aware that I spent a considerable amount of time establishing Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) peering between my NSX-T Edge T0 Logical Router and my physical Upstream Router as documented in this post. This allows them to exchange route information, so that when one of my internal overlay networks needs to communicate externally, it can do so. However, I am in the fortunate…Read More
