Using the AWS Hosted Management Cluster

In this example, we will use the default provided AWS Hosted Management cluster.

Alternatively, you can use the Tanzu CLI to provision a TKG Management cluster into AWS and attach this to Tanzu Mission Control.

Currently it is not supported to have a Management Cluster manage clusters across platforms.

• I.e. Management Cluster in AWS that manages workload clusters in Azure.

To get started:

1. Go to Administration
2. Click the Management Clusters Tab
3. Click on the “aws-hosted” cluster object name

Create a provisioner

The default tab when selecting the “aws-hosted” management cluster object is the provisioner tab.

• Click create provisioner

• Provide a name for the provisioner
• Click confirm

You will be taken back to your provisioner object which is created. Using the radio button to select the object will allow you to delete it. No other action is available.

Create the AWS account

1. Click on accounts tab
2. Click the “Create Account Credential” Button
