Description
vSphere Integrated Containers provides critical enterprise container infrastructure to help IT Ops run both traditional and containerized applications side-by-side on a common platform.
The Virtual Container Host creation wizard makes it relatively easy to provide developer access to Docker containers on top of vSphere.

Hi,
my
name
is
Patrick
beg
I'm
with
the
product
management
team
for
vSphere,
integrated
containers
at
fee,
M,
we're
and
today
I'd
like
to
walk
you
through
our
new
virtual
container,
hose
creation
wizard
that
we
added
to
the
latest
version
of
these
for
your
integrated
containers.
Now,
if
you've
tried
these
four
integrated
containers
in
the
past,
you'll
know
that
to
deploy
the
virtual
container
most,
you
had
to
rely
on
this
Vic
machine
command
line.
A
That
was
a
little
intimidating
for
first-time
users,
it's
prone
to
typos,
and
then
you
have
to
basically
know
what
each
of
these
options
do
in
order
to
choose
the
appropriate
parameter
from
your
existing
vSphere
inventory.
So
what
we've
been
with
the
latest
version
of
Vic
is
that
we
actually
building
on
the
existing
plugin
we
had
in
the
html5
vSphere
client.
What
we
did
is
we
added
a
new
function
that
allows
you
and
walks
you
through
the
creation
of
your
virtual
container
hosts
so
clicking
on
this
new
virtual
container
host
button.
A
Here
takes
you
to
the
wizard.
This
is
a
workflow
based
wizard
that
will
walk
you
through
each
of
these
six
or
seven
individual
steps
here
to
configure
your
virtual
container
host
and
we
guide
you
along
the
way,
providing
you
with
some
high-level
information
on
what
each
of
these
fields
mean
and
provide
you
with
little
hints
along
the
way
as
well.
If
you
need
more
information,
you
can
always
click
on
the
little
hints
button
that
will
give
you
more
information
so
that
you
can
make
the
right
decisions
as
you're
picking
each
of
these
parameters.
A
The
other
thing
we
did
because
we're
tightly
integrated
into
vSphere
is
that
we
also
provide
you
with
a
few
of
your
inventory
anytime.
You
need
to
choose
a
component
from
your
inventory
to
configure
your
container
host
and
to
configure
the
resources
that
will
be
available
through
the
docker
API.
We
present
them
to
you
in
an
easy,
drop-down,
easy
way
to
select
them
I'm,
not
going
to
touch
any
of
these
virtual
container
host
limits.
For
now
this
will
be
for
another
video
here.
We
need
to
configure
the
image
data
store
again.
A
This
particular
environment
only
has
one
data
store,
but
here
you
would
have
a
list
of
your
available
data
stores
that
you
can
just
pick
from.
So
I
can
figure
this
image
store,
I'm,
not
gonna,
configure
any
volume
data
stores.
At
this
point,
as
you
can
see,
the
required
parameters
are
highlighted
by
a
little
red
asterisk
and
that's
we're
gonna
focus
on
for
this
demo.
Next,
we
configured
in
necessary
networks.
Again
we
provide
you
with.
Hence
every
step
it
away.
The
networking
configuration
for
anybody
who's
tried.
A
This
can
be
a
little
a
little
complicated,
maybe
at
first,
but
here
we're
provide
you
with
hints.
We
provide
you
with
the
dropdowns
that
allow
you
to
choose
the
pork
groups
directly
from
your
vSphere
inventory
and
configure
every
required
parameter
here.
We
only
need
to
specify
the
bridge
and
the
public
network.
It
can
specify
the
HCP
or
a
static
IP
for
my
public
network
and
then,
as
you
can
see,
we
try
to
simplify
this
by
showing
you
only
the
basic
or
the
required
parameters
that
you
need
to
set.
A
But
if
you
do
want
to
set
some
of
these
optional
BCH
networks-
or
you
want
to
set
some
of
these
other
more
advanced
settings,
you
can
do
so
as
well,
but
again
for
the
purposes
of
this
demo,
we'll
stick
with
the
basic
requirements
and
skip
to
the
security
step
in
the
security
step.
When
we
force
you
to
enable
TLS
or
secure
communication
between
the
client
and
the
endpoint,
you
can
choose
to
restrict
via
client
certificates,
access
to
the
endpoint
we're
going
to
disable
this
here.
A
This
takes
us
to
the
operations
user.
This
is
a
user.
You
can
specify
that
has
just
the
right
amount
of
privileges,
Nessa,
sorry
to
run
the
virtual
container
host
operations
versus
the
admin
users,
as
necessarily
created
here.
I'm
gonna
stick
with
the
regular
user,
but
we
added
this
capability
that,
if
you
specify
an
user
that
does
not
have
the
necessary
permissions,
specifying
this
option
will
grant
any
permissions
that
that
user
might
be
missing.
A
So,
finally,
we're
taken
to
the
summary
step
where
you
can
review
all
your
configurations,
we
also
provide
you
with
the
resulting
Big
Machine
command.
So,
if
you're
interested
to
see
what
the
resulting
big
machine
command
would
look
like
based
on
the
parameters
you
chose
along
the
way,
we
give
it
to
you
here,
so
you
can
refer
to
it
or
maybe
use
it
at
a
later
time
to
build
some
scripting
or
automation
using
the
big
machine
command
line.
A
So
it's
gonna
hit
the
finish
here:
wait
for
a
few
seconds
for
the
plug-in
to
talk
to
my
API
server
and
get
this
created,
and
this
will
take
me
back
to
the
plugin
view
that
we
had
before
so.
As
you
can
see,
my
virtual
container
host
is
getting
created
here.
If
I
expand
this
little
arrow,
it's
gonna
take
me
to
the
creation
log.
We
provide
you
with
debug
level
information
in
terms
of
how
this
virtual
container
host
is
getting
created.
A
This
can
be
very
useful
for
troubleshooting
if
you
run
into
any
issues
whether
you're,
troubleshooting
yourself
or
troubleshooting,
with
the
assistance
of
VMware
global
support
services,
this
information
can
come
in
handy,
so
it
looks
like
this
is
completed.
I'm
gonna,
close
this
I'm
gonna
hit
refresh
and
we
give
you
the
docker
host
environment
variable.
That's,
basically,
all
you
need
to
provide
to
your
end
user
so
that
they
can
start
consuming
this
leveraging
the
standard
docker
CLI.
