TFGrid 3.0 Whats There To Know

Networking

Private network (ZNET)

For a project that needs a private network, we need a network that can span across multiple nodes, this can be achieved by the network workload reservation Network

Planetary network

For a project that want their workloads directly connected to the planetary network we will need the option planetary enabled when deploying a VM or kubernetes. Check Planetary network for more info about

Public IPs

When you want to have a public IP assigned to your workload, you need to reserve the number of IPs along with your contract and then you can attach it to the VM workload

Exposing the workloads to the public

Typically, if you reserved a public IP you can do that directly and create a domain referencing you public IP. Threefold provides also Webgateway technology a very cost-efficient technology to help with exposing your workloads

how it works

Basically you create a domain reservation that can be

prefix based e.g mywebsite that will internally translate to mywebsite.ghent01.devnet.grid.tf
full domain e.g mysuperwebsite.com (this needs to point to the gateway IP)

And then you need to specify the yggrassil IP of your backend service, so the gateway knows where to redirect the traffic

TLS

As a user, you have two options

let the gateway terminate the TLS traffic for you and communicate with your workloads directly
let the gateway forward the traffic to your backend and you do the termination yourself (the recommended way if you are doing any sensitive business)

Compute

VM workload is the only workload that you will need to run a full blown VM or an flist-based container

How can I create an flist?

The easiest way is by converting existing docker images using the hub

How flist-based container run in a VM?

ZOS injects its own generic kernel while booting the container based on the content of the filesystem

kubernetes

We leverage the VM primitive to allow provisioning kubernetes clusters across multiple nodes based on k3os flist.

Exploring the capacity

You can easily check using explorer-ui , also to plan your deployment you can use these example queries
