About This Architecture

High-availability Kubernetes cluster deployed across three Dell servers running VMware vSAN hyper-converged infrastructure. Three master nodes host the etcd cluster and API Server, while three worker nodes distribute pod workloads, all backed by vSAN shared storage for persistent volumes. This architecture demonstrates enterprise-grade Kubernetes on-premises deployment with VMware's software-defined storage, ensuring data locality and fault tolerance. Infrastructure teams can fork this diagram to plan their own vSAN-backed Kubernetes environments, customize node counts, or export as .drawio for capacity planning docs. The three-server vSAN cluster provides storage redundancy while master node distribution ensures control plane resilience.
