Out-of-Cluster Deployment Model

According to Out-of-Cluster deployment model, you can deploy ATS in a separate cluster other than the one where NFs are deployed.

This deployment model is useful to perform "Out-of-cluster" testing as it is:
  • More aligned with the production use cases
  • Rare for all NFs to co-exist in the same cluster

Note:

  • For NRF, Python based stub simulator is used along with ATS.
  • For PCF, Go language based stub simulator is used along with ATS.
