Deploy GigaVUE Cloud Suite for Third Party Orchestration

You can use your own orchestration system to deploy the GigaVUE fabric components instead of using GigaVUE‑FM to deploy your fabric components.

The third-party orchestration feature allows you to deploy GigaVUE fabric components using your own orchestration system. These fabric components register themselves with GigaVUE-FM using the information provided by the user. Once the nodes are registered with GigaVUE-FM, you can configure monitoring sessions and related services in GigaVUE-FM.

You can either manually deploy the fabric nodes using a configuration file or you can use your orchestration portal to launch the instances and deploy the fabric nodes using user data. Using the user data provided by you, the fabric nodes register itself with the GigaVUE‑FM. Based on the group name and the sub group name details provided in the user data, GigaVUE‑FM groups these fabric nodes under their respective monitoring domain and connection name. Health status of the registered nodes is determined by the heartbeat messages sent from the respective nodes.

This chapter describes how to connect, launch, and deploy the fabric components of GigaVUE Cloud Suite using third party orchestration. Refer to the following sections for more detailed information:
