Hi all,

 

A few quick questions on Edge Cloud setups, both assuming AIO duplex configuration:

  1. If either controller goes out of service (temporary or permanent), would it still be possible to add new hosts to the system (of any workload)?
    [Greg] Yes you can still add new worker/compute nodes if only a single controller is available.
    1. Would it require a new controller to be brought online?

  1. On an edge cloud, since an OAM ip range is specified, is it possible to have more than 2 controllers for extra redundancy? For example, having 3 controllers ready, and if one were to go down permanently, all control would be handed over to the other two?
    [Greg] Nope.  Currently the max number of controllers is 2.
    There have been some discussions about supporting a more traditional 3x node controller cluster.  But that is not currently being worked on.

    Greg.

 

Thanks,

Alex
