Sunlight cluster on AWS
The Sunlight can be deployed directly onto AWS metal servers as on-demand infrastructure. A sunlight cluster is comprised of a minimum of 2 nodes. Each node is an Amazon EC2 metal instance. Once deployed it is a fully functional HCI cluster running within AWS with integrated elastic network support via the AWS Nitro hardware card. Currently Sunlight supports the following metal instances with different hardware configuration:
Name | vCPU | RAM(GiB) | Local Storage | Network Bandwidth |
---|---|---|---|---|
i3.metal | 72 | 512 | 8 x 1900 NVMe direct attached, EBS on-demand | 25 Gbps |
i3en.metal | 96 | 768 | 8 x 7500 NVMe direct attached, EBS on-demand | 100 Gbps |
z1d.metal | 48 | 384 | 2 x 900 NVMe direct attached, EBS on-demand | 25 Gbps |
Once deployed, appropriate instance flavours can be created via the Sunlight dashboard to match the resources as defined for the reference AWS instances.
