Adding AKO repository to the Helm CLI fails

Adding AKO repository to the Helm CLI fails

Comments 0 Comment

Since some time you might experience a problem while adding AVI Kubernetes Operator (AKO) in your TKG/K8s cluster. While running following command: helm repo add ako https://projects.registry.vmware.com/chartrepo/ako you might get an error: saying ” https://projects.registry.vmware.com/chartrepo/ako cannot be reached. Error 404 page not found”. This is a VMware’s general issue with the repo itself and as I’ve heard there is some work in progress. However probably becasue of that OCI compliant charts have been uploaded to be used as a workaround or a…

Tanzu Kubernetes Grid 2.1 – deployment guide

Comments 1 comment

As the documentation is still pretty dry and there is not so much information about that on the internet I’ve decided to post a series of articles describing the Tanzu Kubernetes Grid deployment based on the latest and greatest version 2.1. It’s intended to be a step by step guide that will walk you through the entire process from the begining till the end. Starting from the vSphere, NSX and ALB infrastructure preparation up to a deployment of a sample…

Cloud builder 4.2 – 502 bad gateway

Cloud builder 4.2 – 502 bad gateway

Comments 0 Comment

Cloud Builder in VCF 4.2 has enhanced password requirements. Thus if you deploy the appliance with a password which doesn’t match those requirements it’s going to be deployed with an error, making it unusable. While trying to access the GUI you will get “502 Bad Gateway” which is not so meaningful. Trying to access SSH will fail as well. However, accessing the direct console gives a clear information about the problem. Based on that there is nothing left than redeploying…

VCDX BoM

Comments 0 Comment

As part of my VCDX preparation I’ve read lots of books, blogs and other documents to expand the knowledge and fill the gaps. That was partially one of the most valuable parts of the journey where I learned a lot. Without that I wouldn’t probably even read half of those great books. I can’t say this is something that every candidate must read, but I decided to share this list as a VCDX BoM as I found it valuable for…
