A Platform Engineer needs to create an NKP custom image for vSphere.

For creating custom images for vSphere (and other supported platforms), Konvoy Image Builder (KIB) is the officially supported tool for NKP. It can create images with custom configurations, package versions, and pre-bundled artifacts.
