2 years ago Hi @ravvalika thanks for your questions and thanks for choosing TKGS.
Qeus1: Do this vmware haproxy is supported for TKG1.4 ?
Yes
Ques2: Can we deploy TKG1.4 without vmware haproxy?
Yes. You can deploy your own HAProxy instance as long as it supports Dataplane API version 2.x. The Dataplane API is needed for the load balancer operator to configure the load balancer on the cluster. Ensure that the Dataplane API can be reached on the management network and that the load balancer can reach backends on the workload network.
You can also choose to install NSX Advanced Load Balancer (AVI).
Ques3: Is there any way that we can customise the OS from Photon to RHEL for vmware haproxy.
Currently we don't support any options to do this out of the box. However, this repo is open source and has a permissive license, so you are free to build your own OVA using the included Makefile on Linux or MacOS platforms. I'd expect the changes to support this would be fairly extensive.
