End to end rapid deployment tool for vSphere 7 with Kubernetes for demo, poc, or workshop purposes. Will deploy and configure a nested multi ESXi, VCSA, NSX-T, and WCP environment with python.

Instructions to deploy the environment.

On Ubuntu 18.04 with Python3 already installed.

git clone https://github.com/nvpnathan/py-vsphere-automation.git
git submodule init
git submodule update

vSphere 7 with Kubernetes Fast Installation

After you fill out the parameters file, the fastest way to stand up a LAB or POC environment, is to run the following three scripts in order.

  1. Install & Configure nested vSphere environment for Kubernetes
  2. NSX-T 3.0 Deployment
  3. WCP Install & Configuration

vSphere 7 with Kubernetes Granular Installation

For more ganular needs, the individual steps can be used and run individually for other use cases. Follow links below to just run a specific step.

  1. Nested ESXi 7 OVA deployment
  2. VCSA Appliance Deployment
  3. Datacenter & Cluster Creation & Adding Hosts
  4. Distributed Switch & DVPG Creation
  5. Coming Soon-vSAN installation
  6. NSX-T 3.0 Deployment
  7. Coming Soon-Install NSX Logical Configuration(nsx/NSX-Logical.md)
  8. WCP Install & Configuration
