Deploy a Test dch-photon Instance

To use dch-photon with vSphere Integrated Containers Registry and a VCH, you must perform the following tasks, in order:

1. Obtain an appropriately configured VCH by following the procedure in Deploy a Virtual Container Host with a Volume Store and vSphere Integrated Containers Registry Access.

2. Provide the vSphere Integrated Containers Registry certificate to a dch-photon instance in one of the following ways:

   • Add the Registry Certificate to a Custom dch-photon Image. This is the recommended method because you only need to perform it once.
   • Manually Add the Registry Certificate to a dch-photon VM. This method must be repeated for every dch-photon instance that you deploy.
3. Test the dch-photon instance by following the procedure in Build, Push, and Pull an Image with dch-photon.
