Edge Clusters provide the tools to dynamically grow your cloud infrastructure with physical or virtual resources running on remote cloud service Providers. Edge Clusters support two main use cases:

Edge Cloud Computing: To transition from centralized clouds to distributed edge-like cloud environments. You can grow your on-premises cloud with resources at edge data center locations to meet the latency, bandwidth or data regulation needs of your workload.
Hybrid Cloud Computing: To address peaks of demand and additional computing power by dynamically growing the underlying physical infrastructure.

Edge Clusters are based on open-source storage and networking technologies. They feature a selection of light-weight components specifically designed for edge locations.

On-premises NFS Cluster

A NFS on-premises Cluster utilizes existing physical or virtual servers as OpenNebula Hosts, integrating with and configuring on-premises infrastructure. The on-premises Cluster deployment operates using KVM hypervisors. Additionally, it integrates a NFS server that can be either in the OpenNebula Front-end or as an external server.

On-premises NFS Cluster Implementation

Users must manually provide reachable IP addresses for each Host, ensuring that SSH connectivity functions correctly and system prerequisites are already met. The default OS is Ubuntu 22.04. The networking model is implemented as follows:

On-premises SSH Cluster

Cloud Cluster Provisioning

OneForm enables automated provisioning of Clusters with supported 3rd-party cloud providers or bare-metal service providers. OneForm can interact with 3rd-party cloud service providers as long as a functioning Provider driver exists for that cloud service provider.

OpenNebula offers existing Provider drivers for several cloud and bare-metal service providers in the OneForm Registry Repository. Please refer to the OneForm Registry Wiki for details on installing and synchronizing the drivers in your OpenNebula deployment.
