Planning

Kubernetes

StarlingX platform planning helps ensure that the requirements of your containers, and the requirements of your cloud administration and operations teams can be met. It ensures proper integration of a StarlingX into the target data center or telecom office, and helps you plan up front for future cloud growth.

Planning your StarlingX installation is a prerequisite for further StarlingX OpenStack installation planning.
