One of the features I really like with the NSX Container Plugin (NCP) is how easy it is to create Distributed Firewall Rules (DFW) at an NSX level using Kubernetes Network Policies. By adding these rules in your’e enabling microsegmentation, but implementing it with the application. This means you can get all the code driven goodness from your microsegmentation! Which in turn enables the velocity of application deployments not be slowed down through either security or network team bottlenecks, everyone is a winner.

Backing up a Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition (TKGI, formerly known as PKS) installation is a bit of a mishmash of different elements. Unfortunately TKGI doesn’t support image based backups, neither does Kubernetes, before we look at the tools at your disposal what components require backing up? This diagram shows each layer of a TKGI deployment, let’s step through each layer and discuss the options for backing it up. Infrastructure (vCenter / NSX-T) Bread and butter backups here - point the appliance at the appropriate endpoint and hit go.
