An OpenStack based cloud is now a common need by many organizations. Dell Technologies and Red Hat have worked together to build a jointly engineered and validated architecture that details software, hardware, and integration points of all solution components. This Reference Architecture Guide provides prescriptive guidance and recommendations for:
- Hardware design
- Infrastructure nodes
- Compute nodes
- Storage nodes
- Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) nodes ( compute node and storage node combined)
- Distributed Compute Nodes (DCN)
- Network design
- Software layout
- Offers suggestion for other system configurations
