Viewing Inventory of an Antrea Kubernetes Cluster in NSX Manager

In an NSX environment, you can view the resources of the registered Antrea Kubernetes clusters in read-only mode. You cannot modify or delete the Antrea Kubernetes cluster resources in NSX.

For example, in the NSX environment, you cannot modify, add, or remove tags (labels) that are attached to pods.

Note: After the Antrea Kubernetes cluster is registered to NSX, the Management Plane Adapter connects with the NSX Management Plane and performs a full synchronization of the Antrea Kubernetes cluster resources in the NSX inventory. The time required to do a full sync operation is directly proportional to the scale of the cluster. Thereafter, only a delta synchronization operation happens at regular predefined intervals. If the Management Plane Adapter fails due to any reason, the resources are not synced with the NSX inventory. Only after the adapter is up again, the resources in the Antrea Kubernetes cluster are compared with the existing objects in the NSX inventory and the difference (delta) is synchronized.

Important: In a multi-tenant NSX environment, Kubernetes cluster resources are not exposed to the project inventory. In other words, a project administrator cannot view and manage Antrea Kubernetes cluster resources inside a project. You must switch to the Default view (default space) to view and manage the inventory of registered Antrea Kubernetes clusters.
