storage

all-in-3 Openshift (OCP) cluster with OCS (storage) and CNV (Virtualization)

 

Another day, another "Edge" Architecture. This time let's see how the minimum all-in-one OCP/OCS/CNV would have to look like.

But first what are the key benefits:

  • Small footprint

  • High Availability

  • Virtualization with VM HA

  • HCI storage

  • Best containers platform there is

 

Okay, I got you this far, let me reward you now with a short 2 minutes demo on how this is going to work once you're done:

Distributed Private Cloud Infrastructure - DCN / Edge

I have hesitated to post anything about Red Hat OpenStack Edge since it got introduced in OSP13 simply because I found it quite difficult to consume. Also the storage situation back then was .. not complete. Things improved overtime and now with OSP16.1 we can deploy our private cloud with the following features (which imho finally makes it production ready.):

- ceph storage at the edge / dcn

- one stack per site for better management and lifecycle

- improved routed networking configuration

- image caching at the edge
