VMware vSphere 7
With Kubernetes
The biggest vSphere innovation since
the launch of the ESXi hypervisor.
Challenges Introduced by Modern Applications
| Traditional Data Center Infrastructure | Modern Cloud Infrastructure | |
|---|---|---|
| Operating Models | • Product-oriented | • API and service-oriented |
| • Waterfall release methodology designed for monolithic applications | • Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) and agile methodologies designed for microservices architectures |
|
| Impact on Developer and Operator Teams | • Operators within IT wrestle with traditional processes and are challenged to collaborate with developers. | • Operators outside of IT leverage API-driven services and partner closely with developers. • Developers end up performing operations related to networking and lifecycle management for modern applications. |
| Performance and Agility | • Operators can’t deliver the benefits of the cloud operating model, which drives app teams to the cloud. | • Operators can’t deliver the benefits of the cloud operating model, which drives app teams to the cloud. |
VMware vSphere 7 with Kubernetes
Delivers Essential Services for the Modern Hybrid Cloud
VMware solved the challenges faced by traditional apps across heterogeneous architectures with the introduction of VMware vSphere. With vSphere 7, we’re delivering the essential services for the modern hybrid cloud. Available in VMware Cloud Foundation™— the VMware hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) stack that combines compute, storage, and networking with unified management—vSphere 7 with Kubernetes powers the innovation behind VMware Cloud Foundation Services. With the new Kubernetes and RESTful API surface, developers can streamline their work and IT administrators can improve productivity using application-focused
management.
vSphere 7 provides

- Simplified lifecycle management
- Intrinsic security
- Application acceleration
So you can take advantage of
- Enterprise resiliency
- Agility, flexibility, and productivity
- Cost savings
- Efficient resource utilization
- Simplified operations
- Application governance
- Investment protection
- Availability
How vSphere 7 with Kubernetes helps Enterprises Succeed
VMware vSphere 7 with Kubernetes, available through VMware Cloud Foundation, delivers VMware Cloud Foundation Services and application-focused management for streamlined development, agile operations, and accelerated innovation. It’s a flexible environment for modern applications that are built from microservices and run across heterogenous environments.
With vSphere 7 with Kubernetes, VMware delivers embedded Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Service for fully compliant and conformant Kubernetes capabilities for containerized applications. This approach provides Kubernetes APIs to developers, enabling CI/CD processes across a global infrastructure including on-premises data centers, hyperscalers, and Managed Service Providers (MSP) infrastructure.
It unites the data center and the cloud with an integrated cloud operating model. Now enterprises can increase the productivity of developers and operators, enabling faster timeto-innovation combined with the security, stability, and governance, and avoid cost proliferation due to multiple stacks of IT infrastructure or cloud services.
