About Architecture and Design for VMware Enterprise PKS with VMware NSX-T Workload Domains

The Architecture and Design for VMware® Enterprise PKS with VMware NSX-T™ Workload Domains provides detailed information about the requirements for software and services to implement VMware Enterprise PKS in a compute cluster in an SDDC that is compliant with VMware Validated Design™ for Software-Defined Data Center.

Intended Audience

This design is intended for architects and administrators who want to deploy VMware Enterprise PKS in a virtual infrastructure workload domain to instantiate Kubernetes cluster workloads.

Prerequisites

Deploy the management workload domain according to VMware Validated Design for Software-Defined Data Center at least in a single region. See the VMware Validated Design documentation page.

Required VMware Software

In addition to the VMware Validated Design for Software-Defined Data Center 5.1 deployment, you must download VMware NSX-T Data Center 2.4.1 and VMware Enterprise PKS 1.4.1. You then deploy and configure NSX-T in the shared edge and compute cluster according to this guide. See VMware Validated Design Release Notes for more information about supported product versions
