Issue/Introduction

Supervisor has VKS Version 3.4.2-embedded+v1.33 but there is only up to kubernetes release version 1.32 available

When running below command:

kubectl get kubernetesreleases 

# Example output below:

v1.31.1---vmware.2-fips-vkr.2             v1.31.1+vmware.2-fips-vkr.2             False   False        179m
v1.31.4---vmware.1-fips-vkr.3             v1.31.4+vmware.1-fips-vkr.3             True    True         179m

Environment

vCenter version:  8.0.3  Build: 25197330

VMware ESXi 8.0.3 build-24859861: 8.0.3

VKS: 3.4.2-embedded+v1.33

Supervisor version: v1.32.7+vmware.5-fips-vsc0.1.13-25049472

Guest Cluster version: v1.32.0---vmware.6-fips-vkr.2

Cause

The 'kubectl get kubernetesreleases' output indicates maybe there is an issue with the vSphere Content Library synchronization. 

The Supervisor cluster populates the available kubernetesreleases (VKrs) by reading the synchronized OVA images from the associated Content Library, and where the VKr v1.33 + are not being displayed a synchronization would be required.

Resolution

Check Content Library to see when it was last synchronized.
If not synchronized recently then synchronized.

Following synchronizing the Content Library check the kubernetes releases with the command once again.

Note - You may notice that there is an error while synchronizing the Content Library and that a certificate need to be trusted in order to continue.
Once certificate is trusted start the synchronization to completion.
