This chapter will guide you through how to support next-gen cloud app development by providing developers with access to traditional, cloud-native, and modern application development frameworks and resources, including production-grade container services and open APIs. These will be used on a common vSphere platform and will also support legacy or traditional applications side by side with cloud-native and containerized apps, across a virtualized environment.
You will learn how to optimize resources to get maximum output by defining parameters and what-if scenarios. These will be considered for future scalability, so that we can configure and autoscale parameters across different clouds.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- Cloud-native applications
- The Pivotal Container Service (PKS) on vSphere
