Talos bootstrap after provisioning the k8s cluster

apiVersion: controlplane.cluster.x-k8s.io/v1alpha3
kind: TalosControlPlane
metadata:
  name: cs-plane
spec:
  version: v1.30.0
  replicas: 1
  infrastructureTemplate:
    kind: VSphereMachineTemplate
    apiVersion: infrastructure.cluster.x-k8s.io/v1beta1
    name: control-plane-template
  controlPlaneConfig:
    controlplane:
      generateType: controlplane
      talosVersion: v1.7.6
      configPatches:
        - op: add
          path: /machine/network
          value:
            interfaces:
              - interface: eth0
                dhcp: true
                vip:
                  ip: 10.29.87.20

I have provisioned the k8s cluster using this config from the logs, I see that we still need to run a bootstrap command against the provided IP. The question I have is , is there a way to have bootstrap process automated, such that I don't need to manually run the bootstrap process

You don't need to, the provider should do it for you. If it doesn't - check the logs.

This turns out to be an issue with vmtools not being available, should be resolved after adding it as a talos system extension
