What are the Kubernetes versions supported in NKE as of today

Test drive doesn’t reflect the latest versions of the product, it’s just to provide a getting started experience. For the latest, please check the NKE release notes.

Deploy Windows VM through Ansible

That’s how Windows customization works, it’s not specific to Nutanix Ansible collection. Have a look to this sysprep file, in this case the variable parameters are for Terraform, but you can get an idea. Sysprep has builting AD join capability, you don’t have to do it at the FirstLogonCommand section.Another example https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Self-Service-Admin-Operations-Guide-v3_7_2_1:nuc-scripts-configure-non-managed-ahv-network-c.html.

Hi Yezdi,From the ansible documentation by running ansible-doc nutanix.ncp.ntnx_vms. - guest_customization cloud_init or sysprep guest customization "default": !!null "null" "type": "dict" SUBOPTIONS: - is_overridable Flag to allow override of customization during deployment. "default": !!bool "false" "type": "bool" = script_path Absolute file path to the script. "type": "path" = type cloud_init or sysprep type choices: ["cloud_init", "sysprep"] "type": "str"Make sure to have your sysprep file prepared to provide it in the script_path. Any customization you want to make to the sysprep file will have to go through a template with jinja2

For that use case, you have to use the credentials provider. A credential provider doesn’t need necessarily to connect to an external system, you can use a dummy url and just build the logic in the runbook. Afterwards, you can assign that credential provider to projects and environments.

Basic Patterns for creating base images from vms

You’ll have to check the OS documentation on how to generalize/capture an image since it is different between them.Network issues with cloud-init are usually related to persistent-net.rules/network-scripts

Basic Patterns for creating base images from vms

Make sure as part of the deployment from the golden image you still pass bootstrap configuration. For Windows with sysprep, and for Linux with cloud-init. That’s the standard approach for customizing the VM deployment.

Basic Patterns for creating base images from vms

NCM Self-Service provides an option to create an image from an application. This is available for both blueprint type deployments.Once the image is in PC Image Service, it can be used by NCM Self-Service as well as PC VM deployment.For the specific issue around networking, it depends on OS basis. You’ll have to make sure to comply with whatever your OS distribution requirements are for generalizing images.Also, curious the use case for using VM template instead of continue deploying the workloads through NCM Self-Service.

Disks in Catalog Items not showing in Blueprints

There isn’t a better or worse, you have the use the right type for the image you have. If it is an OS disk, then the type must be DISK. If you have an image which is an ISO to install a software, then it must be ISO type.The CentOS 8 you have downloaded, if it is a disk image (QCOW2, IMG, RAW, ...) you must set this image to DISK. If you have downloaded the CentOS 8 installer ISO, then type must be ISO.
