INF bare metal All-in-one Simplex (1 node)
This section describes the hardware requirements and server preparation for a INF bare metal All-in-one Simplex deployment configuration.
The All-in-one Simplex (AIO-SX) deployment option provides all three cloud functions (controller, worker, and storage) on a single server with the following benefits:
- Requires only a small amount of cloud processing and storage power
- Application consolidation using multiple containers or virtual machines on a single pair of physical servers
- A storage backend solution using a single-node CEPH deployment

INF bare metal All-in-one Duplex (2 nodes)
This section describes the hardware requirements and server preparation for a INF bare metal All-in-one Duplex deployment configuration.
The All-in-one Duplex (AIO-DX) deployment option provides a pair of high availability (HA) servers with each server providing all three cloud functions (controller, worker, and storage).
...
- Only a small amount of cloud processing and storage power is required
- Application consolidation using multiple containers or virtual machines on a single pair of physical servers
- High availability (HA) services run on the controller function across two physical servers in either active/active or active/standby mode
- A storage back end solution using a two-node CEPH deployment across two servers
- Containers or virtual machines scheduled on both worker functions
- Protection against overall server hardware fault, where
- All controller HA services go active on the remaining healthy server
- All virtual machines are recovered on the remaining healthy server
