The solution configures the Kubernetes cluster as a VM. Therefore it is an IaaS and not PaaS infrastructure.

Tanzu implementation is so complex , may be it's my own point. Since we struggle to implement. TKGs is so simple to implement but TKGm is very complex , even after 6 months of struggle we couldn't implement & we dropped it ( even we have vmware support)....
