> - Creating StarlingX packages by applying patches to the downloaded

> - With all the packages required, building the StarlingX ISO

>   - StarlingX Cloud with Dedicated Storage
>   - StarlingX Cloud with Controller Storage
> - All-in-one
>   - StarlingX Cloud Duplex
>   - StarlingX Cloud Simplex

> We recommend to follow today the "StarlingX Cloud with Controller

>   having those 2 Cirros based servers running.
> - Check OVS/DPDK health.
