Requirements

Network requirements

Important

These ranges are reserved respectively for ARTESCA pods and services:

  • 10.233.0.0/16:

  • is the range of IP addresses allocated to the pods network;

  • is the network used by ARTESCA components;

  • has inter nodes traffic;

  • stays only in the ARTESCA cluster.

  • 10.96.0.0/12:

  • is the range of IP addresses allocated to the service network;

  • is the network for service IPs that facilitates communication between different services within a Kubernetes cluster where ARTESCA is deployed.

  • has no inter nodes traffic.

The pods network has to communicate with the service network. These communications are handled by iptables that redirects the 10.96.0.0/12 IPs to the right 10.233.0.0/16 IPs.

They are used for internal communication between the ARTESCA components and should not be used by any other element. Conflicts with your current network configuration will cause system malfunctions.

You can change the ranges of the IP addresses by setting the --pods-cidr and --services-cidr options when generating the configuration file during the installation process.

If those forbidden CIDRs are problematic for you, contact Scality Support.

  • Collect your network information - DNS, NTP, Gateway, Server IPs and timezone.

  • Provide the IP or Virtual IP address on which you want to expose the Management UI.

  • Provide the IP or Virtual IP address on which you want to expose the s3 endpoint (data plane).

  • Decide on a base domain (a DNS address where ARTESCA services are accessed ie s3.basedomain.com, iam.basedomain.com etc).

  • Appliance front-end ports are configured as a bonded interface using LACP (recommended and requires switch compatibility) or Active/Backup.

  • If Management and Data segregation is requested then Tagged VLAN must be available.

  • The airflow of the appliance is front to back.
