Chapter 1. Introducing the Red Hat Hyperconverged Infrastructure for Cloud solution
The Red Hat Hyperconverged Infrastructure (RHHI) for Cloud solution is part of the broader software-defined RHHI solutions. The RHHI Cloud solution unifies Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) 13 and Red Hat Ceph Storage (RHCS) 3 technologies into a single product to accomplish three goals:
- Simplify the deployment of RHOSP and RHCS.
- Provide a more predictable performance experience.
- Achieve a lower cost of entry for RHOSP and RHCS by colocating their respective services on the same node.
The RHHI Cloud colocating scenarios are:
- The RHOSP Controller and the RHCS Monitor services on the same node.
- The RHOSP Nova Compute and the RHCS Object Storage Daemon (OSD) services on the same node.
Choosing a Deployment Workflow
You can choose to deploy the Red Hat Hyperconverged Infrastructure for Cloud by using either, the Red Hat OpenStack Platform Director web interface, or the command-line interface. This is the basic deployment workflow:
