Examples:

  • tcxctl deploy all command in TKG:

--registry <harbor-registry-fqdn>/<project-name> --registry-password <harbor-registry-
password> --registry-username  <harbor-registry-username> --registry-cert <path-to-your-
registry-ca-certificate-file> --timeout <time-in-mins>
  • tcxctl deploy all command in AWS:

tcxctl deploy core -r <registry> -u <username> -p <password> -c <ca.crt_full_path_if_any> --tag-file full_path_of_tag.yaml --kubeconfig <kubeconfig>
OR 
docker login registry
    tcxctl deploy core -r <registry> --tag-file <full_path_of_tag.yaml> --kubeconfig <kubeconfig>
If need to apply any settings to all core tcx apps ( tcx-bootstrap, admin-operator, and kapp-controllertcxct) then helm flags use: 
 --set, --set-file or --values flags
tcxctl deploy core -r <registry> -u <username> -p <password> -c <ca.crt_full_path_if_any> --tag-file full_path_of_tag.yaml --kubeconfig <kubeconfig> --set foo=bar --set-file file.yaml -f values-foo.yaml

tcxctl deploy product

This command deploys the product chart as a Helm release. It uses the Helm SDK to deploy the chart contents. It is not mandatory to use this command to deploy the Helm chart. The helm CLI or other higher-order tools that understand Helm charts like CloudFormation or VMware Telco Cloud Automation can be used.
