Step1: Download the TKG OVA
Starting CSE 3.1.1, CSE allows providers to import Ubuntu 20.04 based VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid OVA into VCD via CSE server cli. The following link provide different TKG Templates. Download the template with the K8s version you need.
Note: Ubuntu 20.04 Kubernetes OVAs from VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Versions 1.4.0, 1.3.1, 1.3.0 are supported.
Kubernetes OVAs for VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid 1.4.0 are available here
I’ve downloaded Ubuntu 2004 Kubernetes v1.21.2 OVA since that’s the lates available version.
File Name : ubuntu-2004-kube-v1.21.2+vmware.1-tkg.1-7832907791984498322.ova
Step2: Import TKG OVA to VCD Catalog
Upload the downloaded OVA to the CSE server. Use the following command to import the OVA in Catalog.
# cse template import -c encrypted-config.yaml -F ubuntu-2004-kube-v1.21.2+vmware.1-tkg.1-7832907791984498322.ova
