Verify Proxmox nodes are accessible ./scripts/check-proxmox-quota-ssh.sh # 2. Verify images are available ./scripts/verify-image-availability.sh # 3. Check Crossplane provider is ready kubectl get providerconfig -n crossplane-system kubectl get pods -n crossplane-system -l app=crossplane-provider-proxmox ``` ### Step 2: Deploy Phase 1 - Core Infrastructure ```bash # Deploy Nginx Proxy (ML110-01) kubectl apply -f examples/production/nginx-proxy-vm.yaml # Deploy Cloudflare Tunnel (R630-01) kubectl apply -f examples/production/cloudflare-tunnel-vm.yaml # Monitor deployment kubectl get proxmoxvm -w ``` **Wait for**: Both VMs to be in "Running" state before proceeding. ### Step 3: Deploy Phase 2 - Phoenix Infrastructure ```bash # Deploy DNS Primary (ML110-01) kubectl apply -f examples/production/phoenix/dns-primary.yaml # Wait for DNS to be ready, then deploy other services kubectl apply -f examples/production/phoenix/git-server.yaml kubectl apply -f examples/production/phoenix/email-server.yaml kubectl apply -f examples/production/phoenix/devops-runner.yaml kubectl apply -f examples/production/phoenix/codespaces-ide.yaml kubectl apply -f examples/production/phoenix/as4-gateway.yaml kubectl apply -f examples/production/phoenix/business-integration-gateway.yaml kubectl apply -f examples/production/phoenix/financial-messaging-gateway.yaml ``` **Note**: Adjust node assignments and CPU allocations based on resource constraints. ### Step 4: Deploy Phase 3 - Blockchain Infrastructure ```bash # Deploy validators first kubectl apply -f examples/production/smom-dbis-138/validator-01.yaml kubectl apply -f examples/production/smom-dbis-138/validator-02.yaml kubectl apply -f examples/production/smom-dbis-138/validator-03.yaml kubectl apply -f examples/production/smom-dbis-138/validator-04.yaml # Deploy sentries kubectl apply -f examples/production/smom-dbis-138/sentry-01.yaml kubectl apply -f examples/production/smom-dbis-138/sentry-02.yaml kubectl apply -f examples/production/smom-dbis-138/sentry-03.yaml kubectl apply -f examples/production/smom-dbis-138/sentry-04.yaml # Deploy RPC nodes kubectl apply -f examples/production/smom-dbis-138/rpc-node-01.yaml kubectl apply -f examples/production/smom-dbis-138/rpc-node-02.yaml kubectl apply -f examples/production/smom-dbis-138/rpc-node-03.yaml kubectl apply -f examples/production/smom-dbis-138/rpc-node-04.yaml # Deploy services kubectl apply -f examples/production/smom-dbis-138/management.yaml kubectl apply -f examples/production/smom-dbis-138/monitoring.yaml kubectl apply -f examples/production/smom-dbis-138/services.yaml kubectl apply -f examples/production/smom-dbis-138/blockscout.yaml ``` ### Step 5: Deploy Phase 4 - Test VMs (Optional) ```bash # Deploy test VMs only if resources allow kubectl apply -f examples/production/vm-100.yaml kubectl apply -f examples/production/basic-vm.yaml kubectl apply -f examples/production/medium-vm.yaml kubectl apply -f examples/production/large-vm.yaml ``` --- ## Monitoring and Verification ### Real-Time Monitoring ```bash # Watch all VM deployments kubectl get proxmoxvm -A -w # Check specific VM status kubectl describe proxmoxvm # Check controller logs kubectl logs -n crossplane-system -l app=crossplane-provider-proxmox --tail=100 -f ``` ### Resource Monitoring ```bash # Check Proxmox node resources ./scripts/check-proxmox-quota-ssh.sh # Check VM resource usage kubectl get proxmoxvm -A -o wide ``` ### Post-Deployment Verification ```bash # Verify all VMs are running kubectl get proxmoxvm -A | grep -v Running # Check VM IP addresses kubectl get proxmoxvm -A -o jsonpath='{range .items[*]}{.metadata.name}{"\t"}{.status.network.ipAddress}{"\n"}{end}' # Verify guest agents ./scripts/verify-guest-agent.sh ``` --- ## Risk Mitigation ### Resource Overcommitment **Risk**: Requested resources exceed available capacity. **Mitigation**: 1. Deploy VMs in batches, monitoring resource usage 2. Reduce CPU allocations where possible 3. Use Ceph storage for large disk requirements 4. Move high-resource VMs to R630-01 5. Consider adding additional Proxmox nodes ### Deployment Failures **Risk**: VM creation may fail due to resource constraints or configuration errors. **Mitigation**: 1. Validate all VM configurations before deployment 2. Check Proxmox quotas before each deployment 3. Monitor controller logs for errors 4. Have rollback procedures ready 5. Test deployments on non-critical VMs first ### Network Issues **Risk**: Network connectivity problems may prevent VM deployment or operation. **Mitigation**: 1. Verify network bridges exist on all nodes 2. Test network connectivity before deployment 3. Configure proper DNS resolution 4. Verify firewall rules allow required traffic --- ## Deployment Timeline ### Estimated Timeline - **Phase 1 (Core Infrastructure)**: 30 minutes - **Phase 2 (Phoenix Infrastructure)**: 2-4 hours - **Phase 3 (Blockchain Infrastructure)**: 3-6 hours - **Phase 4 (Test VMs)**: 1 hour (optional) **Total Estimated Time**: 6-11 hours (excluding verification and troubleshooting) ### Critical Path 1. Core Infrastructure (Nginx, Cloudflare Tunnel) → 30 min 2. DNS Primary → 15 min 3. Git Server, Email Server → 1 hour 4. DevOps Runner, Codespaces IDE → 1 hour 5. Blockchain Validators → 2 hours 6. Blockchain Sentries → 1 hour 7. Blockchain RPC Nodes → 1 hour 8. Blockchain Services → 1 hour --- ## Next Steps 1. **Review and Approve**: Review this plan and approve resource allocations 2. **Update VM Configurations**: Update VM YAML files with optimized resource allocations 3. **Pre-Deployment Checks**: Run all pre-deployment verification scripts 4. **Execute Deployment**: Follow deployment steps in order 5. **Monitor and Verify**: Continuously monitor deployment progress 6. **Post-Deployment**: Verify all services are operational --- ## Related Documentation - [VM Deployment Checklist](./VM_DEPLOYMENT_CHECKLIST.md) - Step-by-step checklist - [VM Creation Procedure](./VM_CREATION_PROCEDURE.md) - Detailed creation procedures - [VM Specifications](./VM_SPECIFICATIONS.md) - Complete VM specifications - [Deployment Requirements](../deployment/DEPLOYMENT_REQUIREMENTS.md) - Overall deployment requirements --- **Last Updated**: 2025-01-XX **Status**: Ready for Review **Maintainer**: Infrastructure Team **Version**: 2.0
