Static pods are directly managed by the kubelet on a specific node. More about static pods can be found here: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/static-pod/
In
this post we will take a look at how to find all static pods in a
Kubernetes cluster. For a static pod the owner reference kind will be
Node.
custom-columns:

Note that the supervisor control plane component certificates will expire after one year.
Here is the VMware KB: https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/89324
NOTE: If certificates expire on the Supervisor or Guest Clusters, access and management of the clusters will fail. And, you will need to raise a case with VMware support team for assistance.
Keep a note of this cert expiry date, and if you can update the supervisor cluster atleast once in a year, these certs will get updated.
Here is a quick way to check the expiry of the supervisor control plane certs.
❯ k config current-context
sc2-06-d5165f-vc01
❯
❯ k cluster-info
Kubernetes control plane is running at https://10.43.69.117:6443
KubeDNS is running at https://10.43.69.117:6443/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/kube-dns:dns/proxy
To further debug and diagnose cluster problems, use 'kubectl cluster-info dump'.
❯
❯ echo | openssl s_client -servername 10.43.69.117 -connect 10.43.69.117:6443 | openssl x509 -noout -dates
depth=0 CN = kube-apiserver

Thanks to my friend Ravikrithik Udainath for the above openssl tip!
I am using the admin kubeconfig of the supervisor cluster. Here is the link to my previous article on exporting WCP admin kubeconfig file. In this case, 10.43.69.117 is the floating IP for the supervisor control plane and it is assigned to one of the supervisor control plane VMs.
This vSphere with Tanzu cluster was deployed on June 02, 2023, and as you can see above, the certificate expiry will be after one year, which in this case is June 01, 2024.
You can set up some sort of monitoring/ alerting for all your supervisor clusters to get notification on these expiry dates.
Hope it was useful. Cheers!
In this article we will go though the steps to deploy a nginx ingress controller on a Tanzu Kubernetes cluster (TKC) and create a simple ingress resource to test its basic functionality.

Service web and web2 are accessible within the TKC. We've already verified it from the nginx pod that runs within the same TKC.

I've created a entry in /etc/hosts file in my laptop so that hello-world.info resolves to 10.186.124.41 which is the external IP of service/ingress-nginx-controller.
❯ cat /etc/hosts

Now from my laptop when I curl to hello-world.info, the request will be served by web svc, and when I curl to hello-world.info/v2, it will be served by web2 svc.

Here are some pointers.
The main workflow while upgrading the entire stack is:
Note: Make sure you follow the compatibility matrix while performing upgrades in a production environment.
While NSX-T is getting upgraded, the host transport nodes will also need to be updated. NSX components will be installed/ updated on the ESXi nodes and may need a reboot also.
In NSX-T: System > Lifecycle Management > Upgrade > Upgrade NSX > Hosts
-Upgrade order across groups - Serial
-Pause upgrade condition - When an upgrade unit fails to upgrade
-Upgrade order within group - Serial
-Upgrade mode - Maintenance
Notes:
kubectl get pods -A -o wide | grep ESXi-FQDN
Safely drain the node.Hope it was useful. Cheers!
In this article we will look at a TKC that is stuck at updating phase which has multiple Kubernetes nodes in NotReady state.

After few minutes you can see a new machine and the corresponding node got provisioned and the TKC changed from updating to running phase.
❯ kg machine -n jtimothy-napp01Hope it was useful. Cheers!

Following code snipet uses Python client for the kubernetes API to create namespace. You will need to specify the kubeconfig file and the context to use for creating the namespace. This is an example case if you are working with multiple kubeconfig files where multiple K8s clusters could be present in each kubeconfig file.
from kubernetes import client, config
import argparse
def load_kubeconfig(kubeconfig_file, context_name):
try:
config.load_kube_config(
config_file=f"{kubeconfig_file}", context=f"{context_name}"
)
except config.ConfigException as err:
print(err)
raise Exception("Could not configure kubernetes python client!")
v1 = client.CoreV1Api()
return v1
def create_ns(v1, ns_name):
print("Creating namespace")
namespace = client.V1Namespace(metadata={"name": ns_name})
ret = v1.create_namespace(namespace)
print(ret)
def main():
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument("-c", "--context", required=True, help="K8s context")
parser.add_argument("-f", "--file", required=True, help="Kubeconfig file")
args = parser.parse_args()
context = args.context
v1 = load_kubeconfig(args.file, context)
ns_name = input("Enter namespace name: ")
create_ns(v1, ns_name)
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
Following is sample output:
❯ python3 create_namespace.py -c tkc-admin@tkc -f /Users/vineethac/testing/ccs/tkc.kubeconfig
Enter namespace name: vineethac-test11
