The ExtremeCloud Edge v5.08.01 Managed Orchestration Deployment Guide provides
comprehensive procedures for deploying and configuring ExtremeCloud Edge applications within
the Universal Compute Platform (UCP) environment. Key setup requirements include detailed
hardware specifications and network configurations, such as Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol
(VRRP) for high availability and load distribution. The guide emphasizes the deployment of
Kubernetes clusters and Docker containers for application orchestration, along with configuring
firewall policies and network addressing schemes. It delves into the intricacies of
inter-cluster communication for synchronization and node health monitoring over a 10 Gbps
backplane. Additionally, the guide covers the configuration of cluster states, pre-deployment
readiness checks, and software provisioning, including the integration with the ExtremeCloud IQ
engine for centralized cloud management. Detailed instructions on network segmentation, private
IP schemes, and persistent connections to ExtremeCloud services ensure robust operational
performance.
