Hello and welcome. My name is Keith Barker and one of the components in the NSX
environment that we can use this refer to as the NSX
Application platform. Now, it's not called the NSX application VM or appliance
because this platform runs on top of
Kubernetes and once in place this application platform provides a bunch of
services like anti malware
NSX intelligence as well as NSX metrics. Now, one of the showstoppers for
people who want to practice and test with the NSX WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
people who want to practice and test with the NSX
Application platform is the fact that underneath the skin it requires
Kubernetes to actually deploy the NSX application platform. Now, fortunately,
if you're not a Kubernetes expert
there is some automation tools to deploy that. However, over the last couple
weeks
I have discovered at least a dozen ways in which this does not work.
So what I'd like to do is break out the deployment and use and working with the
NSX application platform into three sets of videos.
So the first one that we're in right now is how to implement the infrastructure WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
So the first one that we're in right now is how to implement the infrastructure
, the network infrastructure with all the services like DNS
and proper routing and so forth so that we have a base infrastructure that can
support the Kubernetes.
And then once we have the network infrastructure in place in this set of videos
we'll move then to the next set of videos where we'll use the automation tools
to automate the process of deploying the Kubernetes and
then the NSX application platform on top of that. And in that set of videos
I'll also walk you through a whole bunch of options to avoid to help you have
the best possible chances of success. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
the best possible chances of success.
And then once we have it deployed our third set of videos we'll be on actually
using the NSX application platform with the features and bells and whistles and
functions that we want it for.
And along the way we'll have our fair share of troubleshooting as well so you
can see what that looks like firsthand.
So join me in the next video and we'll take a big picture look at the
infrastructure that we need to have in place
to make sure we have success with the NSX application platform.
I'll see you my friend in the very next video.
