SMD comes with a built-in partitioning feature that should allow us to partition off certain components through it's API. In this blog post, we explore how groups and partitions work in practice.
As part of LANL's exploration of the CSM codebase, they replaced Etcd with PostgreSQL for BSS persistence and learned a lot about software boundaries along the way.
At LANL, we used two microservices from HPE's CSM to do discovery and boot of a ten node cluster and we learned so much along the way about redfish, postgres, httpboot, aws, and of course, ourselves.
As part of LANL's exploration of the CSM codebase, they found it necessary to augment the built-in discovery features of CSM with a new standalone command based on gofish and bmclib.
