Cloud Infrastructure (CI) deployment environment for different edge deployments:
Controlled: Indoors, Protected, and Restricted environments. Data Centers, Central Offices, Indoor venues. Operational benefits for installation and maintenance, and reduced need for hardening.
Exposed: Outdoors, Exposed, Harsh and Unprotected environments. Expensive rugged equipment
Cloud Infrastructure (CI) hardware design type for different edge deployments:
Cloud Infrastructure (CI) - Commodity/Standard Design: COTS, standard hardware designs and form factors. Deployed only in Controlled environmentenvironments. Reduces Reduced operational complexity.
Cloud Infrastructure (CI) - Custom Design/Specialised: non-standard hardware designs including specialised components, ruggetised for harsh environments and different form factors. Deployed in Controlled and/or Exposed environments. Operationally complex environment.

Server capabilities for different edge deployments and the OpenStack services that run on these servers; the OpenStack services are containerised to save resources, intrinsic availability and autoscaling:
Control nodes host the OpenStack control plane components (subset of Cloud Controller Services), and needs certain capabilities:
...
Network Interfaces: management, provider and overlay
Local Ephemeral Storage
Cloud partitioning: Host Aggregates, Availability Zones
Storage Nodes host the cinder-volume service. Storage nodes are optional and required only for some specific Edge deployments that need large persistent storage:
Block storage cinder-volume
Storage devices specific cinder volume drivers
Edge Deployments:
Small footprint edge device: only networking agents
...
Single server: single Controller and multiple (one or more) Compute nodes
HA at edge (at least 3 2 edge servers): Multiple Controller and multiple Compute nodes
