Note: EALTEdge Blueprint Deployment has been tested on Cloud VM and is not tested on Bare-Metal Environment. Though, theoretically deployment should work  in bare metal,  provided hardware and software prerequisites are met. Kindly refer R5 R6 - Test Documentation of Enterprise Applications on Lightweight 5G Telco Edge (EALTEdge) to get details on the tested deployment.

...

EALTEdge Installation Mode:

EALTEdge supports 2 Mode of installation: Multi Node and All-In-One (AIO) Node deployment.

AIO(All in One) mode: 

In this mode, all 3 nodes (OCD which is deployment node, Center node and Edge node) are deployed on single VM.

The logical deployment topology can be seen here.

MUNO(Multi Node) Mode:

In this mode, all 3 nodes (OCD which is deployment node, Center node and Edge node) can be deployed on multiple VM.

This mode can have a OCD node deployed on a VM, Center node deployed on same OCD VM or on different VM and EDGE node deployed on different VM.

The logical deployment topology can be seen here.

...

                  - sudo systemctl restart ssh.service               # sshpass

For EdgeGallery AIO mode:

Login from ocd to center and ocd to edge in a single node.

  •  sshpass -p <password> ssh-copy-id -p <ssh-port> -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no root@<node_

...

3. cp -p /etc/passwd  /etc/passwd.bkp
