Planning the Deployment

A high-level overview of the items to consider when planning an HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise deployment.

NOTICE
End of Life (EOL) for Elastic Private Instant Clusters (EPIC)

HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise 5.4.1 is the last release that includes support for EPIC.  Beginning with the next general availability release, deployments that use EPIC to manage virtual nodes/containers are not supported. No future enhancements to EPIC are planned; however, support (such as bug fixes) will continue to be provided until the EPIC functionality reaches End of Life (EOL).

Existing deployments that use EPIC can be transitioned to the newer Kubernetes-based solution on the latest HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise release. Existing deployments that continue to use EPIC will be supported until EPIC reaches End of Life (EOL) on December 30, 2024.

This article provides a high-level overview of the items to consider when planning an HPE Ezmeral Runtime Enterprise deployment. These items include:

  • Storage: The Storage article describes the available storage schemas and the key advantages and considerations of each schema. The flowchart on this page helps you determine the best option.
  • Platform Resource Planning: The flowchart in the Platform Resource Planning article guides you through a number of additional configuration questions.

All of your planning considerations are subject to the system requirements. See System Requirements.
