I have deployed it as a component in 5g core networks. MetalLB create Kubernetes services of type LoadBalancer, and provides network load-balancer implementation in on-premise clusters (Baremetal deployments),…

Deployment of RHOSP 16.1 with for Virtualized Controllers-Part2

In our first part https://bit.ly/3slLXck we covered Red Hat® enterprise virtualization deployment, created 1 VM installed with RHEL 8.2 for undercloud deployment and Skelton for running 3 virtual controllers. Let us start the deployment of Undercloud and overcloud nodes. We create Undercloud.conf file and Instack.json files. The input like MAC address, Interface names comes from the Virtual machines we created in previous steps. Our control plane interface is enp2s0, which…

Deployment of RHOSP 16.1 with for Virtualized Controllers-Part1

Deployment of RHOSP 16.1 with for Virtualized Controllers In this blog we demonstrate to deploy overcloud controllers as virtual machines in a Red Hat Virtualization cluster. This article might provide the audience with additional insights and tips that will help to succeed in deploying Red Hat OSP 16.1 with virtualized controller. We are building private cloud for “PoC” and documenting best practices for RHOSP 16.1 deployment gained through our experience.…
