Deployment Configurations Overview

StarlingX OpenStack is deployed on top of StarlingX that supports a variety of physical deployment options.

StarlingX OpenStack supports deployment configurations ranging from a single server at the edge to large multi-site environments:

  • All-in-One Simplex (|AIO-SX|) — Combines controller, compute, and storage functions on a single low-power server.

  • All-in-One Duplex (|AIO-DX|) — A two-server HA configuration with the same combined roles, providing redundancy for edge and small-site deployments. Worker nodes can be added to extend capacity, and the storage function is distributed across the controllers and any added workers using Rook-managed Ceph.

  • Standard — A two-node HA controller cluster, designed for data center workloads requiring maximum capacity and scalability.

  • Distributed Cloud — A geographically-distributed multi-cloud architecture where a central System Controller manages subclouds across multiple sites. StarlingX OpenStack runs on subclouds in any of the above configurations.

Note

In the Distributed Cloud deployment configuration, StarlingX OpenStack is supported on subclouds only. Cross-subcloud orchestration is not provided for StarlingX OpenStack.
