Assumptions

The Multus reference architecture requires internal mode deployment with dedicated storage nodes, assumes OpenShift control plane nodes do not run storage-dependent applications, and supports optional VLAN configurations based on environment requirements.

This Multus reference architecture section assumes the following.

  • Fusion Data Foundation is deployed in internal mode using dedicated storage nodes.
  • OpenShift control plane nodes do not run applications that require Fusion Data Foundation storage.

    This is not required for supportability, but some node selectors and/or tolerations might need to be modified as needed for other cluster layouts.

  • VLANs are present. VLANs are optional and neither recommended nor discouraged. However, in many instances VLANs are required depending on the user environment.
