Feature Description
Before implementing this feature, AMF needs separate deployment of the following five namespaces for scalability. Each AMF namespace supports the following:
-
A pair of SCTP pods (active-standby)
-
A pair of Protocol pods (active-standby)
-
Extra pods getting deployed on Ops Center and ETCD
A single AMF namespace supports and deploys multiple SCTP pods and protocol pods. SCTP pods support multihoming and some SCTP stack-related parameters are configurable.
SCTP Configurable Stack Parameters
SCTP uses the multihomed host to provide fast failover and associated endurance during hardware failures. Using the associated parameters, the following activities are supported:
-
Creating and customizing the required stack
-
Configuring the resources by modifying the parameter values, which are later used in the stack template.
-
No need to enter hardcoded values in multiple templates to specify different settings.
Multiple SCTP and Protocol Pod Pairs
Pods are tagged with one or more labels. The labels are later used to select and manage groups of pods in a single operation. The labels are stored in a key-value format in the metadata hash.
