Deploy the VMware Integrated OpenStack with Kubernetes OVA in the vSphere Web Client

VMware Integrated OpenStack with Kubernetes is a vApp that you deploy using a wizard in the vSphere Web Client.

Prerequisites

• Verify that vSphere is installed and correctly configured. See System Requirements.

2. Go to the vCenter Hosts and Cluster view.
3. Right click the cluster where you want to deploy VMware Integrated OpenStack with Kubernetes and select Deploy OVF Template.
4. Access the downloaded VMware Integrated OpenStack with Kubernetes OVA.
5. Specify the destination and configure the OVA deployment.
   1. Select the target datacenter created specifically for the VMware Integrated OpenStack with Kubernetes OVA, and click Next.
   2. Select a target host, cluster, resource pool, or vApp and click Next.
   3. Review the product, version, vendor, publisher, size and description details and click Next.

   5. To set up your networks, select the destination network for your source and click Next.

      The source is your management network and provides access to infrastructure components such as vCenter server, ESX, NSX-V, and NSX-T. The destination network you select must have access to the infrastructure components.

   6. Customize the deployment properties by configuring the networking properties and root user properties.

      • Networking properties are required to configure a static IP for the VM. Leave the properties blank if you want to the DHCP server to provide the IP address.

      • The root user uses the initial password to log in to VMware Integrated OpenStack with Kubernetes.

6. Click Next.
7. Review the deployment settings and click Finish to deploy VMware Integrated OpenStack with Kubernetes.
