In VMware Telco Cloud Automation, you can choose a policy profile and create/edit a node policy while creating or editing a nodepool.

  1. Go to Infrastructure > CaaS Infrastructure > Cluster Instances.
  2. Click Add or Edit Nodepool.
  3. (Optional) Under Node Policy, you can choose a node policy profile for the nodepool.
  4. Set the inputs for the profile once a profile is chosen.
  5. Click Next and then Apply. Check the policy status in the Policies tab.

Policy Profiles

A policy profile is a node customization template which accepts a set of inputs. VMware Telco Cloud Automation allows delivery of some predefined profiles.

tca-multi-interface-profile-1.0.0 (TCA 3.2) allows you to add secondary network devices to nodes. The inputs for this profile are Network Adapter. Under the Configuration tab, click Add to add a network adapter and fill in the following information:

  • Interface Name - Enter a name for this device.
  • Network Name - Choose the network that you want to associate with.
  • MTU - Provide the MTU value for the network MTU of this device. The default value is 1500.
  • (Optional) Network Configuration - Enter network configuration for the device.
    • You can also add VLAN subinterfaces. Example: To create 2 VLAN subinterfaces on the network device, ${interfaceName} will be replaced automatically with the specified Interface Name (if the interface name is set to eth1, the created VLAN subinterfaces will be eth1.vl101 and eth1.vl102).
      - config:
          - Network.VLAN=${interfaceName}.vl101
          - Network.VLAN=${interfaceName}.vl102
        type: networkd.network
      - config:
          - NetDev.Name=${interfaceName}.vl101
          - NetDev.Kind=vlan
          - VLAN.Id=101
        type: networkd.netdev
      - config:
          - NetDev.Name=${interfaceName}.vl102
          - NetDev.Kind=vlan
          - VLAN.Id=102
        type: networkd.netdev
