Introduction and Prerequisites

This guide provides the steps needed to bring a stand-alone Universal Compute Platform online. Universal Compute Platform leverages Kubernetes and Docker to deploy and manage the delivery of applications to the customer premises, providing the computing power, storage, high availability, and load-balancing for the system.

The system leverages VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) in order to provide support for both high-availability and load balancing, supported by an NGINX engine. All service operations to the cluster should be directed to the corresponding VRRP IP so that the load balancing logic can direct the request to the best node.
