vSphere with Tanzu - TKG Service features

[azlatovic]

Hi!

I got question about supported features in TKG service (as part of Supervisor cluster). For example does it support autoscaler option for deployment?

I know that TKG Managment cluster supports that, but I am cannot find if the supervisor cluster supports that and if so - how to use that?

Hi!

I cannot find any reference in there for vSphere with Tanzu   (we are talking about on-prem solution) which has TKG SERVICE nor autoscaler feature of Kubernetes inside it.

@azlatovicAre you talking about Node autoscaling feature that is there on TKGm cluster? Are you looking for node autoscaling on TKGs Clusters?

[azlatovic]

Yes. I am talking about Page 298  of https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Tanzu-Kubernetes-Grid/1.4/vmware-tanzu-kubernetes-grid-14.pdf

But my question is: Is that feature available as part of Supervisor Cluster on vSphere 7 with Tanzu in TKG Service (TKGS - https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Tanzu-Kubernetes-Grid/index.html)

OK, @azlatovic As far as I have understood about vSphere with Tanzu, Here is what you can do from scaling perspective:

1. Scale TKGs Clusters horizontally by increasing the number of node count

2. Scale TKGs Cluster vertically by changing the Virtual Machine Class

Autoscaling parameters like what we have in TKGm, I have not seem for TKGs clusters yet.

I suspected also that this is not possible.  I hoped to get some official link about that from somebody who is on developer side of this story 🙂

Thanks!
