The management nodes boot from NCN images which are created from layers on top of a common base image. The common image is customized with a Kubernetes layer for the master nodes and worker nodes. The common image is customized with a storage-ceph layer for the utility storage nodes..
There are several flavors of NCN images, each share a common base image. When booting NCNs an admin or user will need to choose between stable (Release) and unstable (pre-release/dev) images.
For details on how these images behave and inherit from the base and common images, see [node-image-docs][1].
In short, each image (i.e. Kubernetes and storage-ceph) inherit from the non-compute-common layer. Operationally these are all that matter; the common layer, Kubernetes layer, Ceph layer, and any other new images.
To boot an NCN, you need 3 artifacts for each node-type (kubernetes-manager/worker, ceph):
- The Kubernetes SquashFS ([stable][4] or [unstable][5])
initrd-img-[RELEASE].xz
$version-[RELEASE].kernel
kubernetes-[RELEASE].squashfs
- The CEPH SquashFS ([stable][6] or [unstable][7])
initrd-img-[RELEASE].xz
$version-[RELEASE].kernel
storage-ceph-[RELEASE].squashfs
