Creating a Roving Edge Infrastructure Standalone Cluster

Create a Roving Edge Infrastructure standalone cluster to request a group of 5-15 Roving Edge devices connected with a Layer 2 switch, then attach Object Storage and Compute workloads to run on the cluster.

These instructions create the standalone cluster. After the standalone cluster is created, you must attach at least one image workload and at least one Object Storage bucket workload to it before you can submit it for approval (provisioning).

Note

Standalone cluster orders can only be shipped to specific countries depending on where the order is placed. Contact your Oracle account representative for more information. See Country Support for more information.

    1. Open the navigation menu and click Hybrid. Under Roving Edge Infrastructure, click Standalone Cluster. The Standalone Cluster page appears.

    2. Click Create Standalone Cluster. The Create Standalone Cluster dialog box appears. Complete the following under Basic information:

      • Name: Enter the name of the standalone cluster.

      • Create in compartment: Select the compartment in which the standalone cluster you are creating resides from the list.

      • Cluster size: Enter the number 5. This is the fixed number of device nodes available in a cluster.

    3. (optional) Expand Password options. Click to display the Super user password and Confirm super user password fields. Enter and confirm the super user password.

    4. (optional) Expand Passphrase options. Click to display the Unlock passphrase and Confirm unlock passphrase fields. Enter and confirm the passphrase used to unlock the Roving Edge Infrastructure device associated with this node.

    5. (optional) Expand Shipping Options. Choose one of the options:

      • Shipped by Oracle: Complete the following shipping information:

        • Point of contact

        • Care of

        • Zip/Postal code

        • Country: Roving Edge Infrastructure device node orders can only be shipped to specific countries depending on where the order is placed. Contact your Oracle account representative for more information.

      • Pickup from Oracle

    6. Encryption Key: Select an encryption management setting option:

      • Encrypt using Oracle-managed keys: Oracle-managed keys provide all encryption for the node.

    8. Click Create Standalone Cluster.

    The standalone cluster you created is added to the list of standalone clusters.

  • Use the oci rover standalone-cluster create command and required parameters to create a Roving Edge Infrastructure standalone cluster request in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure:
