Installation

Before you begin installing BBE Cloudsetup, make sure you have the following:

• A juniper.net user account with permissions to download the BBE Cloudsetup software package.

• A Linux host (jump host) running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (required) for running the bbecloudsetup utility. The jump host must meet the following system requirements:

  • CPU cores—2

  • RAM—8 GB

  • Disk space—128 GB of free disk storage

• Nodes that will be used as part of the cluster (either virtual or physical machines). A node is a Linux system running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (required) that has a management address and a domain name.

• The cluster nodes and the jump host must be able to access each other through SSH.

• All cluster nodes must have a user account with sudo access.

• We recommend that all cluster nodes meet the following minimum system requirements:

  • CPU cores—8 (hyperthreading preferred)

  • RAM—64 GB

  • Disk space—512 GB of free disk storage (solid state recommended)

    We recommend that you use the storage space to partition your disk accordingly:

    • 128 GB to the root (/) partition for the operating system

    • 128 GB to /var/lib/docker for the Docker cache

    • 256 GB to /mnt/longhorn for the application data. This is the default location, you can specify a different location during configuration.
