Overall Architecture

Fully automated deployment on different platforms: AWS, GCP, baremetal and virtualBaremetal (KVM)
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

...

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...)

Platform Architecture

This blueprint is expected to run on multiple environments (libvirt, AWS and baremetal).

nodes	requirements
1x provisioning host (temporary)	12 cores, 16GB RAM, 200GB disk free, 3 NICs (1 internet connectivity, 1 provisioning+storage, 1 cluster)
3x masters	12 cores, 16GB RAM, 200GB disk free, 2 NICs (1 provisioning+storage, 1 cluster)
3x workers	12 cores, min. 16GB RAM, 200GB disk free, 2 SR/IOV-capable NICs (1 provisioning+storage, 1 cluster)

1	SSD	Samsung PM863, 480GB, SATA 6Gb/s, VNAND, 2.5" SSD - MZ7LM480HCHP-00005
4	HDD	Seagate 2.5" 2TB SATA 6Gb/s 7.2K RPM 128M, 512N (Avenger)
2	NIC	Standard LP 40GbE with 2 QSFP ports, Intel XL710

Networking for the machines has to be set up as follows:
