Modern Application Blueprints for Developer Ready Infrastructure for VMware Cloud Foundation

After the implementation and configuration of the Developer Ready Infrastructure for VMware Cloud Foundation validated solution, you deploy your applications. You can use three sample application blueprints as examples for the developer ready infrastructure.

Overview

The first application blueprint is intended for VI admins who are new to working with Kubernetes applications. It provides procedures how to deploy Bitnami Kubeapps, a GUI-driven mechanism for deploying Kubernetes applications by using Helm.

The second application blueprint is intended for both VI admins and DevOps engineers and admin users. It provides procedures to deploy the same multi-container Wordpress instance, this time by using command line instead of Kubeapps.

The third application blueprint is intended for DevOps engineers and admin users or VI admins who are more experienced with Kubernetes. It provides deployment procedures to deploy a multi-tier sample application with a web front end and a database layer into the Supervisor by using YAML for storage, service, deployment, and pod configuration.

You can perform all procedures by using PowerShell or command prompt.

Before you begin:

• Verify you have completed all the implementation steps of the Developer Ready Infrastructure for VMware Cloud Foundation validated solution.
• Verify that your system has Helm 3.1 or later installed (see Github - Helm repository). This procedure is validated by using Helm 3.5.4.
