Running Tanzu unmanaged cluster on (very) low resources

👉 Intro

We currently are evaluating VM Ware Tanzu Kubernetes cluster solution.

Fortunately VM Ware made the choice to get community driven by :

• Making its cluster available for many flavors through its Community Edition called TCE (Tanzu Community Edition)
• Creating Carvel Community which :

"[...] provides a set of reliable, single-purpose, composable tools that aid in your application building, configuration, and deployment to Kubernetes."

❔ The unmanaged cluster

In TCE, VM Ware introduces TCE Unmanaged Cluster which makes possible to run Tanzu on low resources envs or on develop environments great to be destroyed/rebuilt for experimental/learning purposes.

So I wanted to challenge TCE on Katacoda to see how could use it on our workstations.

If you manage to make it run on Katacoda (with default low resources) then you can run it on your system.

🎞️ Discover TCE

So you can discover how we achieved to get a live TCE running cluster on Katacoda and on which stack it does rely :
