In this post, I will look at the steps involved in creating your own Harbor Registry, setting it up as a Supervisor Container Registry, and then pulling DSM Consumption Operator images for version 9.0.1 from the DSM appliance and pushing them up to the Harbor Registry. We will then deploy the Consumption Operator using the images in the Harbor registry, and modify the package.yaml and values.yaml to provide a true air-gapped environment for DSM 9.0.1. Other image registries can also be used. Overview of Steps If you operate in an air-gapped environment, you can use images and manifests bundled in…

Unfortunately, there is no defined workflow on how to achieve this. The reason for this is that there are a number of additional life-cycle management considerations that we need to take into account before we can fully integrate these components. This includes adding new TKG nodes to the image registry as a TKG cluster is scaled.…
