=== VMware Tanzu

VMware Tanzu uses a non-standard Kubelet state directory. Installing listener-operator on Tanzu requires the argument
`--set kubeletDir=/var/vcap/data/kubelet` to be added to the `helm install` command.
Whether Tanzu uses a non-standard Kubelet state directory depends on the variant.
BOSH-deployed clusters (Tanzu Kubernetes Grid Integrated Edition, formerly PKS) place it under `/var/vcap`, so installing listener-operator there requires the argument `--set kubeletDir=/var/vcap/data/kubelet` to be added to the `helm install` command.
Standard clusters (Tanzu Kubernetes Grid and vSphere with Tanzu) use the default `/var/lib/kubelet` and need no override.
If unsure, check the actual directory on a node before overriding.
