consistent, upstream-compatible implementation of Kubernetes, that is tested, signed, and
supported by VMware. is
central to many of the offerings in the VMware portfolio.

known as TKGS, lets you create and operate Tanzu Kubernetes clusters natively in vSphere
with Tanzu. You use the Kubernetes CLI to invoke the Service and provision and manage Tanzu
Kubernetes clusters. The Kubernetes clusters provisioned by the service are fully
conformant. Therefore, you can deploy all types of Kubernetes workloads. vSphere with
Tanzu leverages many reliable vSphere features to improve the Kubernetes experience,
including vCenter SSO, the Content Library for Kubernetes software distributions,
vSphere networking, vSphere storage, vSphere HA and DRS, and vSphere security. For more
