Introduction

This guide describes how to integrate VMware Tanzu Kubernetes clusters with Entrust CloudControl. Entrust CloudControl organizes a cluster inventory into categories relating to the Tanzu deployment. Entrust CloudControl uses role and asset-based access control to help the user define who can do what to which cluster objects. It also uses image deployment control policies that can be applied to a cluster infrastructure. This ensures ongoing compliance with your organization security policies.
