This is a blog post about creating a Tanzu Kubernetes Grid (TKG) cluster using vSphere 8.0 U3’s Local Consumption Interface (LCI). The author describes how to create a TKG cluster using the LCI interface, and how to use kubectl to apply YAML files to create the cluster.

The post begins by discussing the previous article, which introduced the concept of creating a TKG cluster using vSphere 8.0 U3’s LCI interface. The author then describes how to create a TKG cluster using the LCI interface, starting with the vSphere client and selecting the “OPEN” button for the Tanzu Kubernetes Grid service.

The author then explains how to download the YAML files for the TKG cluster and save them to a file called “tkg-cluster-01.yml”. They also mention that they used kubectl version 8.0 U3 and vSphere Plug-in version 8.0 U3 for this article.

The post then describes how to use kubectl to apply the YAML files to create the TKG cluster, and how to confirm the creation of the cluster using the LCI interface. The author also mentions that they were able to connect to the TKG cluster using the kubeconfig file downloaded from the LCI interface.

Finally, the post concludes by encouraging readers to try creating a TKG cluster using vSphere 8.0 U3’s LCI interface, and by mentioning that this article is also available on Gist.github.com. The author also includes some information about their own background and expertise in vSphere and Kubernetes.
