Expose a Native Cluster

Follow these steps to expose a native cluster using VMware Cloud Director Container Service Extension.

To expose a native cluster, it is necessary to edit the specification section in the native cluster configuration file before cluster creation.

Note: It is not possible to expose the cluster after creation.

Procedure

1. To generate a sample native cluster configuration file, open vcd cse and enter the following command:

   vcd cse cluster apply -s --native        

   The following code is an example of a native cluster configuration yaml file:

   apiVersion: cse.vmware.com/v2.1
   kind: native
   metadata:
     name: native1
     orgName: org1
     virtualDataCenterName: ovdc1
     site: https://vcd.com
   spec:
     distribution:
       templateName: ubuntu-20.04_k8-1.23_weave-2.8.1
       templateRevision: 1
     settings:
       network:
         expose: true
       ovdcNetwork: ovdc1_nw
       sshKey: 'ssh-key'
       rollbackOnFailure: true
     topology:
       controlPlane:
         count: 1
         storageProfile: '*'
       workers:
         count: 1
         storageProfile: '*'
       nfs:
         count: 0
         storageProfile: '*'

2. In the spec section of the native cluster configuration yaml file, set expose to True.

   expose : True

3. To create a native cluster, enter the following command in vcd cse:

   vcd cse cluster apply <native_cluster.yaml>

   .

Hide a Native Cluster

Follow these steps to deactivate the expose functionality and hide a native cluster.

Procedure

1. In vcd cse, in the spec section in the native cluster configuration file, set expose to False:

   expose : False

2. Enter the following command to apply updates:

   vcd cse cluster apply <native_cluster.yaml>
