Example Network Enabler Pod Configuration

In a cloud native deployment, the default Network Enabler (NE) configuration is generated by Helm based on the parameter values provided in the values YAML file during Helm install.

Example Default NE Configuration in create_config.info

The following configuration is required to enable Call Control Framework (CCF) to work in a Kubernetes environment and to enable CAMEL Gateway to be deployed in separate pods to the engine:

Optional Feature:Do you want to enable Call Control Functionality (CCF) (y/n)?y
Optional Feature:Are you licensed to enable Call Control Functionality (CCF) (y/n)?y
Camel Gateway:Will CAMEL gateway be used in cloud native mode (on separate pods from the processing pods) (y/n)?y

The following configuration is auto-generated based on the values for the totalPodCount, portRangeStart, and internalLinkCount fields in the values YAML file. For more information, see the discussion about Network Enabler topology configuration in MATRIXX Installation and Upgrade.

You can override the configuration values using a configuration source. For more information, see the discussion about configuration sources in MATRIXX Configuration.

This create_config.info excerpt defines the number of NE pods.

Note: You can give NEs individual point-codes. By default they all share the value defined for NE 1.
