MicroCloud documentation

If you’re starting to work with MicroCloud, make sure to check out its documentation!

At the moment, the documentation is still rather basic, and we’re constantly working on extending and improving it. We added a step-by-step tutorial a couple of weeks ago, and we’re currently working on a clearer explanation of the networking requirements.

Documentation is always a work in progress, and even more so in the early stages of a product. And you can help to make it better!

There are different ways to contribute, depending on your preference, technical skills, and the time you’re willing to commit. All kinds of contributions, big and small, are very much appreciated!

Typical ways to contribute are:

  • Open a GitHub pull request with documentation updates.
  • Create a GitHub issue to suggest a documentation update or point out something that is missing, unclear, or wrong in the documentation.
  • Post a question, a suggestion, or a tutorial here on Discourse.

See How to contribute to MicroCloud and in particular Contribute to the documentation for more information!

We’re looking forward to your contributions!

It is possible to connect two lxd clusters with ovn so that it looks like the same cluster for communication between the vms ?

Hi, in general there is the OVN interconnect feature but this is currently not supported by LXD.

However within the same LXD cluster you can create a peering between OVN networks so the traffic doesn’t have to leave the OVN subsystem, see https://documentation.ubuntu.com/lxd/en/latest/howto/network_ovn_peers/.

Also consider the BGP feature in LXD https://documentation.ubuntu.com/lxd/en/latest/howto/network_bgp/.

@jpelizaeus Thank you very much for your attention. If I have an OVN cluster and connect several LXD servers to this network, would it work in a scalable way?

@marcomarco0 can you please open up another topic under the microcloud/ category and explain what you are trying to achieve or what do you mean by scalable? Thanks.
