This specification establishes a cluster that can run APM as well as its companion applications such as BBE Event Collection and Visualization and BNG Controller simultaneously.

For information about how to install APM, see the APM Installation Guide.

Additional Requirements

The BNG is a Juniper Networks MX Series router, a Juniper BNG CUPS Controller (BNG CUPS Controller). We recommend that the BNG is running Junos OS Release 22.4R3 or later.

For APM, confirm the following:

  • The APM application has access to the Internet during installation.

  • You have a juniper.net user account with permissions to download the APM software package. Download and install the APM software from a machine that will not be part of the Kubernetes cluster.
