Introduction

The VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance Deployment Guide provides instructions on how you can deploy VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance on VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid (TKG), Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Production and Demo footprint in VMs with Native Kubernetes.

Characteristics of VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance:

• Deploys on VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid cluster.
• Deploys on Azure using AKS cluster.
• Deploys on AWS using EKS cluster.
• Deploys on Production footprint (upto 200 K) and Demo footprint in VMs with Native Kubernetes.
• Uses different footprint options for deployment based on the number of managed devices (see the following table). See the VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance Systems Requirements section for more details about footprint options. Some footprint sizes allow you to choose either a High Availability (HA) or non-HA version. The non-HA version includes the demo footprint, which is for non-production purposes. The HA version requires more nodes as listed in the footprint specification.

  Footprint	Number of Devices
  Demo	Upto 750 managed devices.
  Production	For deploying VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance on VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid, Azure, or AWS, the maximum supported managed devices is 1 million.
  	For deploying VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance in VMs withative Kubernetes, the maximum supported managed devices is 200 K.
