Hi , Thanks for the nice article much appreciate , about the spherlete VIB I found It is not installed on the ESXI , is it mandatory to have Supervisor clusters with NSX deployment that will install the VIB spherelet as mentioned by VMware or could be manually install the Spherelet VIB in VDS deployments ?

Hi @safodz, thanks a lot for your positive feedback and please apologize that I haven't seen your question. I'm so sorry that I haven't replied. The spherelet is installed after enabling Workload Management, doesn't matter which networking option you've chosen. It's necessary to run the vSphere Pods.

Hi Robert, Thanks a lot for your time to prepare a wonderful document.

What if I am using vSphere with Tanzu without NSX? I know it supported from 8.0 U1. I tried installing MinIO with my setup. Currently only Supervisor Cluster is prepared. No TKC in place.

Hi @kumbalakandy, thanks a lot for your kind feedback. Yes, you can install the Supervisor Services like e.g. the vSAN DPP using the vSphere Networking Stack (VDS + Avi LB). Only non-Supervisor Services applications deployed as vSphere Pods aren't supported using the vSphere Networking Stack. For vDPP check out the Docs

Hi Robert,

This is a great post! I have been trying to deploy the supervisor service contour where the supervisor cluster is running on vds and using haproxy. When deploying contour, i keep getting the error relating to certificate which kind of puzzled me.

level=fatal msg="unable to initialize Server dependencies required to start Contour" error="unable to set up controller manager: Get \"https://10.96.0.1:443/api?timeout=32s\": x509: certificate is valid for 192.168.111.200, not 10.96.0.1"

Does it actually supports vds with haproxy as i do not have nsx or avi lb? I'm also running on vsphere 8.

Regards, Adam

Hi @Adamheng, thanks a lot for your feedback. I'm glad that you like the post. I've never seen this issue before and it's been a while that I've used HAProxy in my lab. However, I don't see a reason why your setup shouldn't work. Have you seen KB97170? It's not 100% pointing to your certificate issue but maybe a hint? Let me know.
