Advanced Options During Cluster Creation

When provisioning a new cluster using VMware Tanzu Mission Control, you can provide additional options using the Advanced settings selector, such as Avi configuration for Tanzu Kubernetes clusters running in vSphere.

Depending on the platform that your management cluster is running on, you might have additional configuration options available.

Avi Kubernetes Operator Configuration for Clusters Running in vSphere

This feature is available for Tanzu Kubernetes Grid clusters version 1.6 or later running in vSphere.

When you create a new workload cluster in a Tanzu Kubernetes Grid management cluster running in vSphere, you can specify one or more label selectors to identify the Avi Kubernetes Operator (AKO) configuration that you want to use for the new cluster.

If you have a custom AKO configuration (AKODeploymentConfig, or ADC) defined in your management cluster, you can specify one or more values for AVI_LABELS that identify the ADC that you want to use in the new cluster.

Label selectors must be JSON-formatted, for example {"mykey":"myvalue"}. You can add multiple, comma-separated label selectors. If you add multiple label selectors, the ADC must have all specified labels to match. For more information about how label selectors work, see Policy-Driven Cluster Management in VMware Tanzu Mission Control Concepts.
