Introduction
Unicycle pods are deployed from an existing Regional Controller and consist of 3 master nodes and 0 to 4 worker nodes. The number of nodes may be increased after validation in subsequent releases.
A number of different options exist including the choice of Dell or HP servers and whether to support tenant VM networking with an OVS-DPDK or SR-IOV data plane. The choice of which is deployed is achieved by simply creating different pod specific yaml input files.
In R1 the options include
| Blueprint | Servers | Dataplane | Validated HW details | Validated by |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unicycle | Dell 740XD | OVS-DPDK | Dell 740XD Detailed Specification | Ericsson |
