Virtual Machine Specifications

SUMMARY To deploy Juniper Alert Format Relay, set up a framework that meets these requirements.

VM Nodes

The Juniper Alert Format Relay platform consists of several infrastructure services and microservices, which are deployed across the three nodes by using a deployer VM. The deployer VM is a dedicated VM for hosting images and performing installation. All infrastructure service and microservices are deployed and configured as HA on three nodes and the system can handle a single VM failure.
