This article provides a high-level overview of the items to consider when planning an HPE Ezmeral Container Platform deployment. These items include:
- Networking Considerations: The Networking Considerations article describes the differences of using a
routable public network for the virtual nodes (Docker containers) versus using a
non-routable private network where Gateway hosts provide proxy access to the virtual
nodes through port mappings.
- Network Planning: Once you understand how public and private networks are
used for virtual nodes, you can use the flowchart on the Network Planning article to determine which type of
network makes the most sense for your deployment. This article does not apply to
Kubernetes hosts and/or pod networking.
- Storage: The Storage
article describes the available storage schemas and the key advantages and
considerations of each schema. The flowchart on this page helps you
determine the best option.
- Platform Resource Planning: The flowchart in the Platform Resource Planning article guides you through a
number of additional configuration questions.
All of your planning considerations are subject to the system requirements. See System Requirements.
