Infrastructure management capabilities¶

MCP provides the following infrastructure management capabilities to cloud operators and administrators:

• Install MCP and its components on bare metal infrastructure.
• Update components of MCP to improve existing capabilities and get security or other fixes.
• Upgrade cloud platform components and other components of MCP installation to gain new capabilities.
• Add, remove, and replace elements of the control plane and data plane physical and virtual infrastructure, including hypervisor servers and servers that host control plane services.
• Configure bare metal servers, including disk and network settings, operating system, and IP routing.
• Collect and expose metrics and logs from the infrastructure.
• Generate alerts and notifications about events in the infrastructure.
• Deploy distributed massively-scaled shared storage (Ceph) and attach it to a cloud in order to provide reliable storage to virtual machines.
