Overall Architecture
- Fully automated deployment on different platforms: AWS, libvirt, baremetal
- Deploy kubernetes cluster properly configured and tuned for NFV/MEC workloads
- Enablement of real time workloads
- Possibility of deploying apps on virtual machines and containers in parallel
The blueprint is based on site/profile/base pattern:
- base - it will contain a set of Kubernetes manifests that define the common settings of the Kubernetes cluster to be deployed, and the common workloads to be applied on top of it
- profile - specialization of the cluster depending on profiles (libvirt, AWS and baremetal). It will contain specific configs for each platform, and specific workloads to be applied on top of it
- site - individual definition of a site, based on a chosen profile. It will contain specific configurations for the site (name, domain, network/servers settings, etc...)
