    Hi,

    I am looking into the possibilities of Tanzu and multi-tenancy.

    I have a home lab with 3x Intel NUC's and one vSphere 7 cluster with Workload Management enabled. So basically this is a Tanzu Supervisor Cluster w/vSphere Networking (No NSX).

    I was wondering what other people do when trying to achieve multi-tenancy. Do you use only one HAproxy, or do you deploy multiple HAproxys? I haven't found any information regarding use of multiple HAproxy appliances, so I'm not even sure if it is possible, or supported.

    What I want to achieve is something close to hard multitenancy as possible. I don't feel comfortable using only one HAproxy, as everything will go through it, right?

    Should I create a new vSphere/Supervisor cluster per tenant with a dedicated HAproxy appliance?

    I might be on the wrong path here, but Tanzu is pretty confusing. Anyone done similar work and want to share some thoughts on this?
