Organization Virtual Data Center Prerequisites for Kubernetes Cluster Deployment

This section details the prerequisites that are necessary for organization virtual data centers where tenant users create clusters.

Tenant organization virtual data centers require a routed, NSX backed organization virtual data center network. This network must have Internet connectivity to allow cluster VMs to download packages during configuration. It can be a routed organization VDC network with a source network address translation (SNAT) rule that allows VMs connected to the network access to outside world.

The edge gateway that powers the network must have the following settings:

• Free static IP addresses that are assigned to load balancers that front the Kubernetes cluster’s control plane nodes.
• NSX Load Balancer activated, and Service Engine group assigned to it
