Basic components overview

The following diagram describes the main high level components involved in a Kubeinit deployment triggered by Ansible.

Baremetal nodes and cluster guests allocation

The following diagram describes a potential distribution of hosts, guests, and services containers.

Kubeinit's architectural high level description

Each cluster deployment requires a set of infrastructure services to support its correct functioning, the current list of services deployed and configured are Httpd, Bind, HAproxy, Dnsmasq, Nexus, and a Local container registry.

This pod (services pod) will be deployed by default in the first hypervisor but depending on the user’s requirements this pod might be scheduled in any other chassis connected to the cluster.

Services pod architecture

The following diagram describes the reasoning for the infrastructure services to support the multiple clusters that can be deployed
