Cannot Add Supervisor Clusters (Kubernetes Zones) to Projects in Aria Automation UI: 100-Entry Display Limit

Products

• VCF Operations/Automation (formerly VMware Aria Suite)

Issue/Introduction

Users are unable to  add Kubernetes Zones  (supervisor clusters + Supervisor Namespaces) to projects within the VMware Aria Automation Assembler UI.

This limitation prevents the enablement of Tanzu services for all intended stakeholders.

Environment

 Aria Automation 8.18.1

Cause

This behavior is due to a known UI limitation in the VMware Aria Automation Assembler. The underlying API call made by the UI to retrieve Supervisor Clusters and Namespaces is hardcoded with a limit=100 parameter. Crucially, the UI does not provide pagination or search capabilities for this specific selection field, meaning only the first 100 alphabetically sorted results are displayed to the user.

Resolution

To successfully add Supervisor Clusters or Namespaces beyond the first 100 entries we recommend to use API. 

As this is on legacy vRA 8.x. it is recommended to submit a feature request.
