In the Quick Start, you can:</p> <blockquote> <ul> <li><a href="https://docs.opennebula.io/7.2/getting_started/try_opennebula/">Install an OpenNebula Front-end</a></li> <li>Deploy <a href="https://docs.opennebula.io/7.2/getting_started/try_opennebula/opennebula_sandbox_deployment/validate_the_environment/">Virtual Machines</a> to validate the installed infrastructure</li> <li>Deploy <a href="https://docs.opennebula.io/7.2/getting_started/try_opennebula/try_kubernetes_on_opennebula/running_kubernetes_clusters/">Kubernetes Clusters</a></li> </ul> </blockquote> <p>As you follow the tutorials you will learn the basic usage and operation of your cloud. This trial of a real cloud deployment can help you to plan for the most suitable features for performance and scalability, to get the most out of your OpenNebula cloud.</p>https://docs.opennebula.io/7.2/getting_started/understand_opennebula/cloud_architecture_and_design/edge_cloud_reference_architecture/Mon, 17 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000https://docs.opennebula.io/7.2/getting_started/understand_opennebula/cloud_architecture_and_design/edge_cloud_reference_architecture/<p><a id="true-hybrid-cloud-reference-architecture"></a></p> <!--# Edge Cloud Reference Architecture --> <p>To support digital transformation initiatives, IT departments need the right blend of on-premises, public, and edge cloud environments to support a variety of existing and emerging use cases while avoiding vendor lock-in and enabling cost optimization. They also need to combine Virtual Machine workloads with containerized applications from Kubernetes in a shared environment to get the best of both worlds: mature virtualization technologies and orchestration of application containers.</p>https://docs.opennebula.io/7.2/getting_started/understand_opennebula/cloud_architecture_and_design/open_cloud_reference_architecture/Mon, 17 Feb 2025 00:00:00 +0000https://docs.opennebula.io/7.2/getting_started/understand_opennebula/cloud_architecture_and_design/open_cloud_reference_architecture/<p><a id="open-cloud-architecture"></a></p> <p><a id="plan"></a></p> <!--# Open Cloud Reference Architecture --> <p>The OpenNebula Cloud Reference Architecture is a blueprint to guide IT architects, consultants, cloud‬ ‭administrators, and field practitioners in the design and deployment of private, hybrid, and edge clouds‬ ‭fully based on ‬‭open source platforms and technologies‭. ‬‭It is based on the collective information and‬ ‭experiences of hundreds of users and client engagements. Besides the main logical components and‬ ‭interrelationships within the architecture, this document includes references to software products, specific‬ ‭configurations, and requirements of infrastructure platforms recommended for a‬‭ smooth OpenNebula‬ ‭installation‭. Three optional functionalities complete‬ ‭this architecture: high availability, true hybrid and‬ ‭edge for workload outsourcing, and federation of geographically-dispersed data centers.‬</p>
