Add a Supervisor Service to vCenter Server

Checkout how to add Supervisor Services to the vCenter Server system where your vSphere with Tanzu environment runs. After adding services to vCenter Server, you install Supervisor Services on Supervisors so that your DevOps engineers can use the services in Kubernetes workloads.

• Learn more about the supported Supervisor Services and how to download their service YAML files at http://vmware.com/go/supervisor-service.

Note: Supervisor Services are supported on single-cluster Supervisors that run on either VDS or NSX networking stacks. You cannot deploy Supervisor Services on three-zone Supervisors.
