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

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...)

Platform Architecture

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

Deployments to AWS

Deployments to Bare Metal

The blueprint validation lab uses 7 SuperMicro SuperServer 1028R-WTR (Black) with the following specs:

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

Release 2 components:

In Release 2 Ceph support for storage, and  Centos-RT support to enable realtime workloads have been added.
