Hi @johnbelamaric, we want to use Nephio for one of our use case. Can you please provide the documentation link for installing Nephio on AWS.

Your response will be highly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards, Pooja Yadav

Are you wanting to install the demo environment or a bring-your-own-cluster environment?

For the demo environment, you can do that on a generic Ubuntu VM, see https://github.com/nephio-project/docs/tree/main/install-guide#installing-on-a-pre-provisioned-vm

For a bring-your-own-cluster environment, we haven't really documented it yet. It depends a lot on your particular selections of Git provider, cluster provisioner, etc. The install code in the test-infra repo may be helpful in this.

Hi @johnbelamaric

Thanks for the update. We tried the below installation of Nephio on Ubuntu based AWS Ec2 instance, but nephio is not getting installed. https://github.com/nephio-project/docs/tree/main/install-guide#installing-on-a-pre-provisioned-vm

Our requirement is to connect Nephio to existing EKS cluster on AWS. Please suggest the best way to move forward.

Regards, Bharat

I suggest you start by playing with it in the demo environment, it will help you learn the parts and pieces.

I am not sure what you mean by "connect" to an existing cluster. Do you mean put the existing cluster under the management of Nephio, so that Nephio can deliver workloads to that cluster? Or, do you mean "run Nephio in an existing cluster"?

HI @johnbelamaric

Thanks for your response. We have to understand the below things.

Nephio in Demo environment deploys new cluster?
By "connect" to an existing cluster means, we have an existing Kubernetes (EKS) cluster deployed in AWS. By somehow we can connect nephio to it? Please share if there is any guide for the same. Additionally, how we can make the deployment changes in Nephio with respect to custom application. For instance there is a deployment present already for free5gc.

Your inputs will be appreciated.

Thanks & Regards, Bharat Gupta

We deploy kind clusters for now within the VM. So far connecting to existing clusters we did not do so far. This is on our todo list. The main challenge is the networking as we deploy across clusters and we want to interconnect them since we need to communicate between them. E.g. N4 between SMF and UPF. So this is work in progress.
