The Rover blueprint is a single server deployment using the Network Cloud family tools. This blueprint is primarily intended to demonstrate the automation and software components used by other Network Cloud family blueprints with the minimal hardware or network requirements. From the Regional Controller, users can deploy a single server edge site running Openstack. Once the edge site deployment is complete, the Regional Controller can add components to the edge site such as a sample VNF that simulates a Content Delivery Network or ONAP to orchestrate more complex VNFs deployments.

Known limitations
Deployments require internet connectivity from the Regional Controller and the Rover Pod. The deployments will not work with proxy servers in this release.
The Rover blueprint has been validated on HP DL380 Gen 10 and Dell R730 Gen14 Purley platforms with the specific network and storage configurations as described in the Validation Labs. Other configurations will require changes to the input files and possibly the templates used by the automation.
Openstack is deployed with only keystone v3 authentication enabled. The Tempest save state functions do not work with keystone v3 api and therefore the Tempest E2E test will not run in this release.
