If you’ve registered a management cluster or Supervisor Cluster with Tanzu Mission Control, you can create workload clusters directly from the Tanzu Mission Control console. You’ll follow slightly different instructions depending on where your management cluster or Supervisor Cluster is running.

Note: Version 2.5 of Tanzu Kubernetes Grid does not support deployment of clusters to AWS or Azure. To manage the lifecycle of clusters on these platforms using Tanzu Mission Control, you can create a credential to connect to your account, and then deploy and manage native EKS/AKS clusters.

About creating clusters using ClusterClass

You can leverage the power of ClusterClass to use a predefined baseline configuration to create workload clusters with a consistent size and shape. This functionality is available in the following versions of Tanzu Kubernetes Grid:
  • Tanzu Kubernetes Grid version 2.1 or later
  • Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Service running in vSphere with Tanzu on vSphere version 8.0 or later

Using Tanzu Mission Control, you can provision new workload clusters in management clusters running in these environments using only the ClusterClass workflow.
