Analytical Ecosystem
  1. Initialize the configuration by specifying the cluster name and platform, where appcenter is the cluster name and vsphere is the platform: 
    $ kubekit init appcenter --platform vsphere

    A text editor opens to allow you to edit the default cluster configuration.

    The cluster config file is in YAML format. You must maintain existing indentation.
  2. Edit the configuration variables for your environment: 
    $ kubekit edit appcenter

    For help identifying the values to use, contact your vSphere administrator.

    Configuration Variables
    Variable Variable Description and Command Example Considerations 
    config:
  host_timezone
  controlplane_timezone
    		 Time zone used when AppCenter runs scheduled jobs.

    Example: host_timezone: "Asia/Tokyo" controlplane_timezone: "Asia/Tokyo"

    		If you do not provide a time zone, AppCenter defaults to UTC. 
    config:
  master_schedulable_enabled
    		 Enable master scheduling.

    Example: master_schedulable_enabled :true

    		Required for AppCenter installation.

    Schedules pods on the master node.

    		 
    config:
  rook_enabled
    		 Example: rook_enabled: "false" Set the variable to false to disable Rook. You must set the variable to false for vSphere installations. 
    cpus
    		 Number of CPUs to be allocated to each node. For more information, see Software Requirements. 
    datacenter
    		 Name of the VMware data center in which the cluster will be created.

    Example: vagrant

    		Virtual data center is a container for all inventory objects required for operating virtual machines (VMs). 
    datastore
    		 Name of the datastore associated with the datacenter.

    Example: vgrnt_dsc/vgrnt03

    Reserve 3 TB of space in a single datastore that is connected to all VMware hosts to ensure 500 GB can be dedicated to each AppCenter VM.

    		 
    default_node_pool:
  linked_clone:
    		 Used to specify if the nodes are to be linked clones. For production, set linked_clone to false. For example:
    default_node_pool:
  linked_clone: false
    		 
    dns_servers
    		 Local DNS server to resolve domain queries on local network or customer network.   
    folder
    		 Name of the folder in which the VMs need to be deployed.

    Example: Discovered virtual machine/folder_name

    		If not provided, the VMs will be created in the root location. 
    memory
    		 Amount of memory to be allocated to each node. For more information, see Software Requirements. 
    node_pools:
  master:
    count:
  worker:
    count:
    		 Number of master and worker nodes you want to deploy in this environment. Minimum recommended configuration is 3 masters and 3 workers. 
    private_key_file
    		 Location of a private key. Private key will be used to set up the SSH access for the cluster.

    If you do not have a private key, generate one using ssh-keygen.

    		 
    public_key_file
    		 Location of a public key. The public key will be needed for AppCenter installation.

    If you don’t have a public key, generate one using ssh-keygen.

    		 
    resource_pool
    		 Name of the resource pool present in the datacenter.

    Example: vgrnt_01/Resources/vagrant01

    If you do not have a resource pool, use <datacenter_name>/Resources as the value.

    		 You can use resource pools to hierarchically partition available CPU and memory resources of a standalone host or a cluster. 
    root_vol_size
    		 Size of root volume for each node. Minimum recommended configuration is 500 GB. 
    template
    		 KubeOS template name.

    Example: <use the latest>

    		If the template_name is under a particular folder, specify the full path. For example: <folder_name>/KubeOS template name 
    time_servers
    		 Local network time server to synchronizing time over NTP.   
    vsphere_net
    		 Network with which the VMs need to be associated.

    Example: dvpg_vm_550

    		Networks provide a method of communication among virtual machines. Machines will be connected logically using this network so data can be sent and received among them.
  3. Save and close the cluster configuration.
