VMware Cloud Director Extensions and Tools

Kubernetes service

Container Service Extension (CSE) is a separate product offering from VMware that works alongside VMware Cloud Director. By using CSE, as a service provider, you can offer a Kubernetes service to your tenants enabling them to deploy fully functional Kubernetes clusters in a self-service and multi-tenant safe fashion. CSE extends the VMware Cloud Director API and UI for Kubernetes cluster lifecycle management. The VMware Cloud Director system administrator can install and operate CSE. See the VMware Cloud Director Container Service Extension Documentation.

You can use vSphere with VMware Tanzu in VMware Cloud Director to create and manage Tanzu Kubernetes clusters. See Creating a vSphere with VMware Tanzu Cluster. The Container Service Extension needed only for the upstream CSE orchestrated native clusters and TKGI clusters.
