Foundation node

Foundation nodeΒΆ

A foundation node is the first infrastructure node that you deploy in the MCP environment. You use the foundation node to deploy all other infrastructure nodes. The foundation node includes the same set of tools and services as other infrastructure nodes. In addition, the foundation node includes the Metal-as-a-service virtual machine that enables bare-metal provisioning and the SaltStack virtual machine that runs Salt Master and Cookiecutter which are used to provision VCP and MCP CP services on all infrastructure nodes.
