Deployment and configuration of an edge site based on declarative intents indicative of a use case

A system comprising:

• a processing resource;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium, storing instructions that when executed by the processing resource cause the processing resource to:
• receive declarative intents indicative of a use case for which a cluster of a container orchestration platform is to be deployed within an edge site, wherein the edge site is to be created based on infrastructure associated with a private network;
• generate a deployment template by performing intent translation on the declarative intents and based on a set of constraints, wherein the deployment template includes specifications for the edge site at an application level, an infrastructure level, and a platform level;
• and
• deploy and configure the edge site in accordance with the deployment template by executing the deployment template, the deploying and configuring including, provisioning and configuring the infrastructure, installing a container orchestration platform identified by the platform level specifications on the infrastructure, configuring the cluster within the container orchestration platform, and deploying a containerized application or portion thereof identified by the application level specifications on the cluster.

A non-transitory machine readable medium storing instructions that when executed by one or more processing resources of one or more computer systems cause the one or more processing resources to:

• receive declarative intents indicative of a use case for which a cluster of a container orchestration platform is to be deployed within an edge site, wherein the edge site is to be created based on infrastructure associated with a private network;
• generate a deployment template by performing intent translation on the declarative intents and based on a set of constraints, wherein the deployment template identifies the container orchestration platform selected by the intent translation from a plurality of supported container orchestration platforms;
• and
• deploy and configure the edge site in accordance with the deployment template by executing the deployment template, the deploying and configuring including, provisioning and configuring the infrastructure, installing a container orchestration platform identified by platform level specifications on the infrastructure, configuring the cluster within the container orchestration platform, and deploying a containerized application or portion thereof identified by application level specifications on the cluster.
