vSphere Air-gapped Bootstrap
Prerequisites
Before you perform this procedure, ensure that you have created a CAPI VM template.
Bootstrap a kind cluster and CAPI controllers
Konvoy deploys all cluster lifecycle services to a bootstrap cluster, which deploys a workload cluster. When the workload cluster is ready, move the cluster lifecycle services to the workload cluster, after which the workload cluster manages its own lifecycle.
Assuming you have downloaded
dkp-air-gapped-bundle_v2.4.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz
, extract the tarball to a local directory:tar -xzvf dkp-air-gapped-bundle_v2.4.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz && cd dkp-v2.4.0
CODELoad the bootstrap docker image on your bastion machine.
docker load -i konvoy-bootstrap-image-v2.4.0.tar
CODECreate a bootstrap cluster:
dkp create bootstrap --kubeconfig $HOME/.kube/config
CODEThe output resembles this example:
✓ Creating a bootstrap cluster ✓ Initializing new CAPI components
CODEEnsure that the CAPV controllers are present with the command:
kubectl get pods -n capv-system
CODEThe output resembles the following:
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE capv-controller-manager-785c5978f-nnfns 1/1 Running 0 13h
CODE
Next Step:
Create a new vSphere Air-gapped Kubernetes cluster.
