2V0-71.23 Question 336
Select 4A VMware administrator is deploying Tanzu Kubernetes Grid (TKG) in a production environment and wants to leverage NSX Advanced Load Balancer (NSX ALB) for ingress and load balancing. Which of the following steps are required to integrate NSX ALB with TKG?
- A
Deploy an NSX ALB Controller and configure it with the TKG Management Cluster.
- B
Configure a Cloud in NSX ALB for TKG workloads.
- C
Enable the MetalLB provider in the TKG cluster for load balancing.
- D
Create Service Engine Groups in NSX ALB for traffic distribution.
- E
Manually install an ingress controller in the TKG workload cluster.
- F
Associate the NSX ALB VIP network with the TKG workload clusters.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D, F
Explanation
When integrating NSX Advanced Load Balancer (NSX ALB) with Tanzu Kubernetes Grid (TKG), the NSX ALB Controller serves as the central management point for load balancing operations. A Cloud configuration in NSX ALB defines the environment for TKG workloads, while Service Engine Groups distribute traffic. The VIP network must also be associated with the workload clusters to enable ingress and load balancing. MetalLB is not required in this scenario, and manual ingress controller installation is unnecessary as NSX ALB handles these tasks.
- A. Correct.
Correct: NSX ALB requires an NSX ALB Controller to be deployed and configured with the TKG Management Cluster to manage load balancing.
- B. Correct.
Correct: Configuring a Cloud in NSX ALB is required to define the scope for TKG workloads, including network and resource settings.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect: MetalLB is not used when NSX ALB is integrated with TKG, as NSX ALB provides load balancing.
- D. Correct.
Correct: Service Engine Groups are required in NSX ALB to distribute traffic across the TKG workload clusters.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect: An ingress controller is automatically managed when NSX ALB is integrated with TKG and does not require manual installation.
- F. Correct.
Correct: Associating the NSX ALB VIP network with TKG workload clusters allows NSX ALB to manage ingress and load balancing traffic effectively.
