Domino runs in a Kubernetes cluster with a standard set of three master nodes, a set of worker nodes dedicated to hosting Domino platform services, and a set of worker nodes dedicated to hosting compute workloads. Outside the cluster is a durable blob storage system, and a load balancer that regulates connections from users.
The following diagram shows the physical infrastructure of Domino.
The Domino application hosts the following major workloads:
-
Domino Platform
These components provide user interfaces, the Domino API server, orchestration, metadata and supporting services.
-
Domino Compute
This is where users' data science, engineering, and machine learning workflows are executed.
All workloads in the Domino application run as containerized processes, orchestrated by Kubernetes. Kubernetes is an industry-standard container orchestration system. Kubernetes was launched by Google and has broad community and vendor support, including managed offerings from all major cloud providers.
Typically, you will provision and manage your own Kubernetes cluster into which you will install Domino. Domino can advise on best practices for creating and managing Kubernetes clusters. Contact your account executive for more information about deployment options.
