Why would developers choose to deploy an application as a vSphere Pod instead of a Tanzu Kubernetes cluster?
A vSphere Pod is a VM with a small footprint that runs one or more Linux containers. With vSphere Pods, workloads have the following capabilities:
*Strong isolationfrom a Linux kernel based on Photon OS
* Resource management using DRS
* Same level of resource isolation as VMs
* Open Container Initiative (OCI) compatible
* Equivalent to a Kubernetes Container Host
vSphere Pods are not compatible with vSphere vMotion. When an ESXi host is placed into maintenance mode, running vSphere Pods are drained and redeployed on another ESXi host, but only if the vSphere Pod is part of a ReplicaSet.
