This document outlines the steps to deploy Radio Edge Cloud (REC) cluster. It has a minimum of three controller nodes. Optionally it may include worker nodes if desired. REC was designed from the ground up to be a highly available, flexible, and cost-efficient system for the use and support of Cloud RAN and 5G networks. The production deployment of Radio Edge Cloud is intended to be done using the Akraino Regional Controller which has been significantly enhanced during the Akraino Release 1 timeframe, but for evaluation purposes, it is possible to deploy REC without the Regional Controller.

REC is a fully integrated stack from the hardware up to and including the application, so for best results, it is necessary to use one of the tested hardware configurations. Although REC is intended to run on a variety of different hardware platforms, it includes a hardware detector component that customizes each installation based on the hardware present and will need (possibly minor) changes to run on additional hardware configurations. Preliminary support is present in Akraino Release 1 of REC for HP DL380 generation 9 and 10, Dell R740xd and Nokia Open Edge servers, but the primary focus of Release 1 testing is the Nokia Open Edge servers, so some issues may be encountered with other server types.
