Overview

Capstone scenario labs deploying multiple VergeOS topologies with the Terraform playground, performing VMware-to-VergeOS migrations, and making architecture decisions based on customer requirements.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this module, you will be able to:

• Deploy multiple VergeOS topologies using the Terraform playground (2-node HCI, 4-node HCI, HCI+Compute hybrid, UCI 3-cluster)
• Perform a VMware-to-VergeOS migration end-to-end including planning, execution, and validation
• Design HCI+Compute hybrid architectures that separate storage and compute scaling for workload-specific optimization
• Build multi-tenant MSP environments with tenant creation, resource quotas, network isolation, and audit verification
• Make architecture decisions based on real-world customer requirements and constraints

Prerequisites

• Completion of all prior modules (1–9)
• Access to the vergeos-terraform-playground repository
• A running VergeOS environment with admin access
• Terraform CLI installed and configured

Estimated Time

8 hours (across 5 scenario labs)

Scenario Labs

• Lab: HCI Deployment — Deploy 2-node and 4-node HCI topologies using the Terraform playground. Validate cluster health, storage, and networking.
• Lab: UCI Deployment — Deploy a UCI 3-cluster topology with separate compute and storage clusters. Practice scaling and resource allocation across clusters.
• Lab: VMware Migration — Plan and execute a VMware-to-VergeOS migration end-to-end, including VM import, network reconfiguration, and validation.
• Lab: HCI + Compute Deployment — Deploy an HCI foundation cluster with a dedicated compute-only cluster. Configure workload placement and validate independent compute scaling.
• Lab: Multi-Tenancy / MSP — Build a multi-tenant MSP environment with tenant creation, resource quotas, network isolation, and audit verification.
