Unable to authenticate to a VKS guest cluster after deleting and restoring it from backup.

Products

• Tanzu Kubernetes Runtime

Issue/Introduction

After a guest cluster is deleted and restored from a backup, authentication to the guest cluster fails using normal methods.

Environment

vCenter 8.0 with VKS enabled

Cause

Clusters being re-created too quickly, before the VKS environment has enough time to finish cleaning up the deleted cluster.

Resolution

Wait 15-30 minutes after deleting a cluster before restoring the backup to re-create it.
