defiQUG 1fb7266469 Add Oracle Aggregator and CCIP Integration
- Introduced Aggregator.sol for Chainlink-compatible oracle functionality, including round-based updates and access control.
- Added OracleWithCCIP.sol to extend Aggregator with CCIP cross-chain messaging capabilities.
- Created .gitmodules to include OpenZeppelin contracts as a submodule.
- Developed a comprehensive deployment guide in NEXT_STEPS_COMPLETE_GUIDE.md for Phase 2 and smart contract deployment.
- Implemented Vite configuration for the orchestration portal, supporting both Vue and React frameworks.
- Added server-side logic for the Multi-Cloud Orchestration Portal, including API endpoints for environment management and monitoring.
- Created scripts for resource import and usage validation across non-US regions.
- Added tests for CCIP error handling and integration to ensure robust functionality.
- Included various new files and directories for the orchestration portal and deployment scripts.

Validator Node Pool Deployment

Configuration

Validator Nodes

  • Count: 2 nodes
  • VM Size: Standard_B1ms
  • vCPUs: 1 per node (2 total)
  • Memory: 2GB RAM per node (4GB total)
  • Type: Burstable (B-series)

Resource Summary

  • System Pool: 3 × Standard_D2s_v3 (2 vCPUs, 8GB RAM each) = 6 vCPUs
  • Validator Pool: 2 × Standard_B1ms (1 vCPU, 2GB RAM each) = 2 vCPUs
  • Total: 8 vCPUs (within 10 vCPU limit)

Standard_B1ms Specifications

Compute

  • vCPUs: 1
  • Memory: 2GB RAM
  • Burstable: Yes (CPU credits)
  • Cost: $0.0104/hour ($7.50/month per node)

Storage

  • OS Disk: Up to 32GB (Premium SSD)
  • Data Disks: Up to 2 disks
  • Max IOPS: 1,920 IOPS

Network

  • NICs: 2 network interfaces
  • Bandwidth: Moderate (up to 200 Mbps)

Why Standard_B1ms for Validators?

Advantages

  1. Fits Quota: 1 vCPU allows 2 validators within 4 available vCPUs
  2. Cost Effective: 90% cheaper than Standard_D2s_v3
  3. Sufficient for Besu: 1 vCPU, 2GB RAM meets minimum requirements
  4. Burstable: CPU credits for variable workloads
  5. Scalable: Can upgrade to Standard_B2s or Standard_D2s_v3 later

Considerations

  • CPU Credits: B-series uses burst credits, monitor usage
  • Performance: May need upgrade for high-volume production
  • Memory: 2GB RAM is minimal, may need upgrade for large states

Deployment Status

Before Deployment

  • System Nodes: 3 × Standard_D2s_v3 = 6 vCPUs
  • Total: 6 vCPUs

After Deployment

  • System Nodes: 3 × Standard_D2s_v3 = 6 vCPUs
  • Validator Nodes: 2 × Standard_B1ms = 2 vCPUs
  • Total: 8 vCPUs (within 10 limit)

Monitoring

Check Validator Nodes

# View node pool status
az aks nodepool show \
  --resource-group az-p-we-rg-comp-001 \
  --cluster-name az-p-we-aks-main \
  --name validators

# View all nodes
kubectl get nodes -o wide

# Check node resources
kubectl top nodes

Monitor CPU Credits (B-series)

# Check Azure Monitor metrics
az monitor metrics list \
  --resource /subscriptions/fc08d829-4f14-413d-ab27-ce024425db0b/resourceGroups/az-p-we-rg-comp-001/providers/Microsoft.ContainerService/managedClusters/az-p-we-aks-main \
  --metric "Percentage CPU Credits Remaining"

Next Steps

  1. Deploy Besu Validators: Deploy Besu pods to validator nodes
  2. Monitor Performance: Check CPU credits and performance
  3. Scale Up: Upgrade to Standard_B2s if needed
  4. Deploy Sentries: After quota increase or optimization

Upgrade Path

If Performance is Insufficient

  • Option 1: Upgrade to Standard_B2s (2 vCPUs, 4GB RAM)
  • Option 2: Upgrade to Standard_D2s_v3 (2 vCPUs, 8GB RAM)
  • Option 3: Increase node count (need quota increase)

Cost Comparison

  • Standard_B1ms: ~$7.50/month (current)
  • Standard_B2s: ~$15/month (2× cost, 2× vCPUs)
  • Standard_D2s_v3: ~$70/month (9× cost, 2× vCPUs)
