Add a "VMware Kubernetes Service (VKS)" page to the Calico Enterprise install-on-clusters section and wire it into the sidebar after TKG. Covers installing Calico Enterprise on VKS: Part 1 Supervisor Service setup (Carvel package build/publish), Part 2 guest-cluster deployment with optional Windows node support, and Parts 3-4 air-gapped bundle/image relocation. Ported from tigera/vks CE-install.md: blockquote callouts converted to Docusaurus admonitions, an internal vSphere lab URL removed, the private- registry cross-link made site-relative, and $[prodname] used in body prose. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Copy the VKS install page into calico-enterprise_versioned_docs/version-3.23-2 and add it to that version's sidebar after TKG. Also switch the private-registry cross-link from an absolute /latest path to a relative .mdx link so it resolves to the correct version on both the latest and versioned pages. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Fix "Configmap" -> "ConfigMap" (correct Kubernetes kind casing) in the Step 6 heading. - Use kubectl apply -f for the Tigera license (idempotent on re-runs) instead of create -f. - Use grep -E 'tigera|calico' in the verification step (portable; BRE \| isn't on BSD/macOS grep). Copilot's /latest-link comment was already resolved by the prior relative-.mdx-link change. Applied to both the latest and 3.23-2 versioned copies. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Reorganize into Big picture / Before you begin / How to / Next steps to match the other "Install on clusters" pages (tkg, openshift, etc.); the Parts 1-4 procedure now lives under How to as ### subsections. Drop the body --- rules (headings already delimit sections), rename per-part "Prerequisites" headings to avoid duplicate slugs, update in-page anchor links to the new slugs, and add a Next steps section. Applied to both the latest and 3.23-2 versioned copies. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
