This section provides topics for operating TKG Service clusters. What to read next Configure a Text Editor for KubectlTo operate and maintain TKG clusters, configure a default text editor for kubectl. Manually Scale a Cluster Using KubectlYou can scale a TKG Service cluster horizontally by changing the number of nodes, or vertically by changing the virtual machine class hosting the nodes. You can also scale volumes attached to cluster nodes. Monitor TKG Cluster Status Using the vSphere ClientYou can monitor the status of TKG clusters using the vSphere Client. Monitor TKG Cluster Status Using kubectlYou can monitor the status of provisioned TKG clusters using kubectl. Check TKG Cluster Readiness Using KubectlWhen the TKG Controller provisions a TKG cluster, several status conditions are reported that you can use to get direct insight into key aspects of machine health. Check TKG Cluster Machine Health Using KubectlWhen the TKG Controller provisions a workload cluster on Supervisor, several status conditions are reported that you can use to get direct insight into key aspects of machine health. Check TKG Cluster Health Using KubectlWhen the TKG Controller provisions a workload cluster, several status conditions are reported that you can use to get direct insight into key aspects of cluster health. Check TKG Cluster Volume Health Using KubectlYou can check health status of a persistent volume in a bound state on a TKG cluster. Monitor Volume Health in a TKG ClusterYou can check health status of a persistent volume in a bound state. Monitor Persistent Volumes Using the vSphere ClientWhen DevOps engineers deploy a stateful application with a persistent volume claim, vSphere IaaS control plane creates a persistent volume object and a matching persistent virtual disk. As a vSphere administrator, you can review details of the persistent volume in the vSphere Client. You can also monitor its storage compliance and health status. Get TKG Cluster Secrets Using KubectlTKG clusters use secrets to store tokens, keys, and passwords for operating. Check TKG Cluster Networking Using KubectlThe system provisions TKG clusters with default networking for nodes, pods, and services. You can verify cluster networking using custom kubectl commands. Check TKG Cluster Operations Using KubectlYou can manage TKG clusters using custom kubectl commands. These commands are made available by custom resources managed by the TKG Controller. View TKG Cluster Lifecycle StatusYou can view the lifecycle status of TKG clusters in the vSphere inventory and using kubectl. View the Resource Hierarchy for a TKG Cluster Using KubectlYou can view the resource hierarchy for a TKG cluster using kubectl. Viewing the complete list of cluster resources can help you pinpoint resources that might be causing problems. Configure MachineHealthCheck for v1beta1 ClustersThis topic describes how to configure MachineHealthCheck for TKG Service clusters provisioned using the v1beta1 API.
