Solution architecture

  • This section describes how an RKE cluster is deployed on a two-layer PowerFlex cluster. You can deploy this solution on any of the PowerFlex family products. In this solution, the RKE cluster is deployed in a two-layer configuration using PowerFlex compute-only nodes that are deployed with the VMware ESXi hypervisor and dedicated PowerFlex storage-only nodes to provide the required storage capacity.

    Note: The solution is validated in engineering lab using two-layer PowerFlex system with VMware vSphere environment, but the reference architecture and the best practices that are demonstrated in this white paper are applicable to both virtualized and bare metal configurations and other PowerFlex family products.
