Cloud Deployment Manager Kubernetes deployment types
Use Cloud Deployment Manager to select a Kubernetes deployment model for your WEKA infrastructure and tenancy requirements.
Explore Kubernetes deployment types available in Cloud Deployment Manager (CDM). CDM guides configuration and generates validated WEKA Operator deployment artifacts. Select the deployment model that matches your infrastructure, performance requirements, and tenancy design.
Access Cloud Deployment Manager
Open Cloud Deployment Manager and sign in with your WEKA account. Select Kubernetes to start a deployment configuration.
Kubernetes deployment types
Choose how WEKA runs on your Kubernetes cluster before generating deployment artifacts. CDM supports three deployment types. Each type follows a separate deployment procedure.
Dedicated
WEKA backends run on dedicated storage nodes. Clients connect from separate nodes.
Standard production layout with a clear separation between storage and workload nodes.
Axon (converged)
Co-locates WEKA backends with your workload or GPU nodes and adds a client configuration.
GPU or compute clusters where storage and workloads share the same nodes.
Composable Clusters
One WekaCluster per tenant over shared physical NVMe drives (through the SSD proxy), against a single shared sign-drives policy.
Multi-tenant environments where several WEKA clusters share the same physical drives.
Select the required type from the deployment options in CDM.
Dedicated is the recommended deployment type for most production environments.
To change the deployment type after you start a configuration, select the type badge (for example, Dedicated) at the top of the wizard page. Switching starts a new configuration for the selected type.
