How to Add or Update VKS Content Libraries

Products

• VMware vSphere Kubernetes Service

Issue/Introduction

A content library is required to provision clusters using the vSphere Kubernetes Service on a Supervisor. After initial configuration of the content library used with VKS you can later edit or delete the content library as well as add additional content libraries.

When you make changes to your content library, keep in mind the following:

• The content library you use for
  VKS
  clusters is not scoped to individual
  vSphere Namespaces. The same content library is used for all vSphere Namespaces in a Supervisor instance. For this reason, changing the content library is only allowed at the Supervisor level. 
  
  
  
• The content library referenced in the VM Service tile can be used only with standalone VMs. Do not add the
  VKS
  content library to the VM Service tile.
  
  
• If a content library associated with VKS is deleted from
  vCenter, 
  the library remains linked to
  VKS. It is mandatory to
  remove this library from VKS to proceed with any operations. If you try to add or remove any other content library, you see an error message prompting you to unlink the library that was deleted from vCenter.
