Accessing Bitnami Harbor OVA for Air-Gapped vSphere Supervisor Deployment

Products

• VMware vSphere Kubernetes Service

Issue/Introduction

Bitnami virtual machines (OVAs) are no longer freely available for download through the VMware Marketplace for individual users. Access to these images is now limited to VMware customers.

Environment

vSphere Supervisor

Cause

For vSphere Supervisor deployment in air-gapped environments, access to a container registry is required to host necessary supervisor services components (e.g., Harbor, Contour and Consumption Interface).
Bitnami Harbor provides a reliable and self-hosted registry solution that can be deployed as an OVA in offline scenarios.
