- Generic: Infrastructure Orchestration shall be as generic. Even though this work is being done on behalf of one BP (MICN), infrastructure orchestration shall be common across all BPs in the ICN family. Also, it shall be possible to use this component in other BPs outside of ICN family.
- Leverage open source projects:
- Leverage cluster-API for infra-global-controller. Identify gaps and provide fixed and also provide UI/CLI for good user experience.
- Leverage Ironic and metal3 for infra-local-controller to do bare-metal provisioning. Identify any gaps to make it work with Cluster-API.
- Leverage KuD in infra-local-controller to do Kubernetes installation. Identify any gaps and fix them.
- Figure out ways to use the bootstrap machine also as workload machine (Not in scope for Akraino-R2)
- Flexible and Extensible :
- Adding any new package in future shall be a simple addition.
- Interaction with workload orchestrator shall not be limited to K8S. Shall be able to talk to any workload orchestrator.
- Data Model driven:
- Follow CRD models as much as possible.
- Security:
- Infra-global and infra-local controller may have privileged access to secrets, keys etc.. Shall ensure to protect them by putting them in HW RoT or at least ensure that they are not visible in clear in HDD/SSDs.
- Redundancy: Infra-global controller shall be redundant, especially, if it used to manage multiple sites.
- Performance:
- Shall be able to complete the first time installation or patching across multiple servers in a site shall be in minutes < 10minutes for 10 server site. (May need to ensure that jobs are done in parallel - Multi-threading of infra-local-controller).
- Shall be able to complete the patching across sites shall be done in <10 minutes for 100 sites.
