Mirantis Container Cloud (MCC) becomes part of Mirantis OpenStack for Kubernetes (MOSK)!

Starting with MOSK 25.2, the MOSK documentation set will cover all product layers, including MOSK management (formerly MCC). This means everything you need will be in one place. The separate MCC documentation site will be retired, so please update your bookmarks for continued easy access to the latest content.

Plan the deployment

The detailed plan of any Mirantis OpenStack for Kubernetes (MOSK) deployment is determined on a per-cloud basis. For the MOSK reference architecture and design overview, see Reference Architecture.

Also, read through Bare metal components as a MOSK cluster is deployed on top of a bare metal management cluster.

Note

One of the industry best practices is to verify every new update or configuration change in a non-customer-facing environment before applying it to production. Therefore, Mirantis recommends having a staging cloud, deployed and maintained along with the production clouds. The recommendation is especially applicable to the environments that:

• Receive updates often and use continuous delivery. For example, any non-isolated deployment of Mirantis Container Cloud.

• Have significant deviations from the reference architecture or third party extensions installed.

• Are managed under the Mirantis OpsCare program.

• Run business-critical workloads where even the slightest application downtime is unacceptable.

A typical staging cloud is a complete copy of the production environment including the hardware and software configurations, but with a bare minimum of compute and storage capacity.
