(This list will be fetched from your VMware Integrated Openstack deployment post successful authentication.)
Now, we need to select the Flavor which will be used to deploy the Kubernetes Master and Worker Nodes.
We are selecting m1.oom as the flavor for our deployment. This is a custom flavor created on VMware Integrated OpenStack 4.1.
(It is recommended to create a flavor which meets the minimum hardware configurations as described above in this document.)
Select a flavor from the list. (This list will be fetched from your VMware Integrated Openstack deployment post successful authentication.)
Click Next.
If you are not using NSX-T, then you can click Next.
If you are using NSX-T, then give then Manager address, Username, Password, Tier 0 Router and Transport zone.

Otherwise, click Next.
Select an Infrastructure Provider, it shows a list of all the Cloud Providers you have added.
Select the one on which you want to deploy your Kubernetes Cluster.
Click Next.
Select an Infrastructure Node Profile, it is the configuration using which your Kubernetes Cluster will be deployed.
If you want to use the default profile, click on the checkbox of Use default node profile.

Now, we need to add Cluster Data.
Give the Cluster Name, Number of Master Nodes, Number of Worker Nodes, DNS Servers and Cluster Type (Shared or Exclusive).
(In an exclusive cluster, multi-tenancy is not supported. In a shared cluster, multi-tenancy is supported and enforced by the Kubernetes namespace.)
Click Next.
Now, we need to add Users & Groups for this cluster.
Select the Users and Group from the list, or we can provide additional users and groups if they are not created.
Click Next.
Now, check the Kubernetes Cluster Deployment Summary and verify the information.
If you wish to download the JSON of your configurations, click on Download Cluster JSON.
Click Finish to start the deployment of Kubernetes Cluster.
The deployment of Kubernetes Cluster takes some time as compared to Cloud Provider.
Please be patient while the Cluster is being deployed. Once deployed, the state of cluster will change from CREATING to READY.

During the deployment process, the cluster state will be CREATING.

After the successful deployment process, the cluster state will be ACTIVE.

During the deployment process if there is an error, the cluster state will be changed to ERROR.

Meanwhile, you can login Login to your VMware Integrated OpenStack Horizon and check if the correct number of instance to verify that the Kubernetes instances have been deployed or not. If they are there then the deployment is in progress,
if you don't see these instance after 5 mins then there is a possiblity that the deployment has faced some error.

If you want to delete your cluster, the cluster state will be changed to DELETING.
