Note	Ensure to include --recurse-submodules option while cloning this repo in order to pick the content from the git sub-modules included in the repository. git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/openshift-kni/telco-reference.git -b tnc7.0-release-4.22

Description

This repository contains the reference configurations (installation artifacts as wells as configuration policies) for the different sub-architectures under the Telco Network Cloud (TNC) reference architecture. The figure below shows the high level view of the TNC reference architecture along with its sub-architectures:

TNC uses the reference configuration, provided by the telco Reference Design Specification (RDS), as baseline and adds services/integrations to augment the RDS.

How to Use

The directories specific to each sub-architecture provide the configuration files needed to fully deploy and configure an OpenShift cluster with the design specified for the relevant sub-architecture.

Each sub-architecture uses the telco Reference Design Specification (RDS) as its base and adds the TNC sub-architecture components to the base. To ensure alignment with the RDS, the RDS reference CRs are being included in the TNC repo as GIT sub-modules. This allows users to pick the TNC+RDS artifacts as they were verified for the specific TNC release.

Note

Users forking/cloning this GIT repository would need to remove the GIT sub-modules and copy the reference CRs locally within each <sub-architecture>/configuration directory before pushing the content to their private GIT repos, otherwise they may run into issues with ArgoCD not being able to sync content from GIT: git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/openshift-kni/telco-reference.git -b tnc-7.0-release-4.22 cd telco-reference # # For each sub-architecture in the repo, follow these steps: # cd tnc-reference/<sub-architecture>/configuration # Remove the soft link rm reference-crs # copy the reference-crs out of the sub-module content # For the MGMT-ZTP, CWL, AIWL, VEWL and RHOSO sub-architectures: cp -R telco-reference/telco-core/configuration/reference-crs . OR # For the GHUB and MGMT sub-architectures: cp -R telco-reference/telco-hub/configuration/reference-crs . # Remove the sub-module content rm -rf telco-reference # End repeat for each sub-architecture # # remove GIT sub-modules # Go back to the top level cd ../../.. git submodule deinit tnc-reference/tnc-ghub/configuration/telco-reference git submodule deinit tnc-reference/tnc-mgmt/configuration/telco-reference git submodule deinit tnc-reference/tnc-mgmt-ztp/configuration/telco-reference git submodule deinit tnc-reference/tnc-cwl/configuration/telco-reference git submodule deinit tnc-reference/tnc-aiwl/configuration/telco-reference git submodule deinit tnc-reference/tnc-vewl/configuration/telco-reference git submodule deinit tnc-reference/tnc-rhoso/configuration/telco-reference rm .submodule rm -rf .git/modules Now the repo has no sub-modules and can be pushed to local/private git repo without causing issues for ArgoCD sync.
