Step 2. Customer set up

Placement​

As the customer, McDougals will now request a placement. They do so by creating a placement file in their project named pilot.md. The command in VSCode creates the basic file structure.

/mcdougals-edgecell/placement/pilot.yaml

apiVersion: edgecell.io/v1
kind: Placement
metadata:
  name:  pilot01
  namespace: mcdougals.com
  uuid: 6f852492-2b5d-45c9-93d9-5129a77ad1d2
  labels:
    env: test
    project: pilot
  annotations:
    description: Pilot cluster
    telephone: (940) 555-3057
    address: |-
        McDougals HQ
        2700 West University
        Denton, TX 76201
spec:
  nodes:
    - type: edgecell.io/aa1
    - type: edgecell.io/aa1
    - type: edgecell.io/aa1
  localnetwork:
    type: dhcp

They have named this placement pilot01. They have labeled it with env: test to indicate it as a test cluster.

Key is the spec section. They have indicated that the placement should have three nodes. However, there are no nodes actually assigned to this placement yet, so all we define is the node type. The rest of the nodes spec is left null.

Schedule​

McDougals also provides the schedule for when and where they would like the placement delivered.

/mcdougals-edgecell/shipment/shippilot.yaml
