Ensure that your VMware template has the Linux host settings for Kubernetes deployment - host_readiness.

Create and launch a Linux VM using vSphere. Connect to the VM and setup Nirmata agent by running the following command:

`sudo curl -sSL https://www.nirmata.io/nirmata-host-agent/setup-nirmata-agent.sh | sudo sh -s -- --cloud vsphere`

Now you can create a template for the VM using vCenter. This template should be selected when creating a host group for your vSphere provider.
