Convention Service: Convention Service does not currently support self-signed certificates for integrating with a private registry. Support for self-signed certificates is planned for an upcoming release.
Installing Tanzu Application Platform on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE): When you install Tanzu Application Platform on GKE, Kubernetes control plane can be unavailable for several minutes during the installation. Package installations can enter the ReconcileFailed state. When API server becomes available, packages try to reconcile to completion.
This can happen on newly provisioned clusters that have not finished GKE API server autoscaling. When GKE scales up an API server, the current Tanzu Application install continues, and any subsequent installs succeed without interruption.
Supply Chain Security Tools - Sign: If all webhook nodes or pods are evicted by the cluster or scaled down, the admission policy blocks any pods from being created in the cluster. To resolve the issue, delete the MutatingWebhookConfiguration and reapply it when the cluster is stable. For more information, see Supply Chain Security Tools - Sign known issues.
