Introduction
Rover pods are deployed from an existing Regional Controller and consist of a single nodes.
A choice of Dell or HP servers is supported. The choice of which type of servers are 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rover | Dell 740XD | <INSERT LINK TO ATT DELL SERVER SPEC> | AT&T | |
| Ericsson | ||||
| Rover | HP 380 Gen10 | <INSERT LINK TO ATT HP SERVER SPEC> | AT&T |
