Service Installer for VMware Tanzu 2.4.0

Service Installer for VMware Tanzu (informally known as SIVT) automates the deployment of the reference designs for Tanzu on the following platforms:

  • Tanzu Kubernetes Grid on vSphere backed by VDS (Internet-connected, air-gapped, proxy-based, and no-orchestration)
  • vSphere with Tanzu backed by VDS (Internet-connected and proxy-based)
  • Tanzu Kubernetes Grid on vSphere backed by NSX-T (Internet-connected, air-gapped, and proxy-based)
  • Tanzu Kubernetes Grid on VMware Cloud on AWS (VMC)
  • Tanzu Kubernetes Grid on AWS (Internet-connected, air-gapped)
  • Tanzu Kubernetes Grid on Azure
  • Tanzu Kubernetes Grid on VMware Cloud Director (VCD) (Internet-connected, Greenfield, Brownfield)

Service Installer simplifies the deployment of a Kubernetes environment. It uses best practices for deploying and configuring the required Tanzu for Kubernetes Operations components, such as:

  • Tanzu Kubernetes Grid
  • NSX Advanced Load Balancer
  • Shared services such as Contour, Harbor, Fluent Bit, Prometheus, Grafana
  • Integration with Tanzu Mission Control, Tanzu Observability, and Tanzu Service Mesh
