It would be help full if Morpheus can support the NSX edge node and edge cluster creation from the user interface. Currently Morpheus can support the multitenancy model with NSX SDN solution by provisioning virtual tier-1 router, networks creation as self service operation from the user UI.
But there are some limitation now from the UI to create multiple Tier0 gateway routes to isolate the customer traffic. Every time Morpheus user have to contact backend team for the new tier0 creation since tier0 routers are one to one mapped with NSX Edge cluster.
By implementing this idea, Morpheus user can create the edge nodes, cluster from the UI and deploy a new Tier0 gateways without any backend support.
Below VMware docs talks about NSX edge cluster creation
Use cases:
- Morpheus user wants additional Tier0 gateway for their use case
- Create NSX edge cluster and attach new pair for edge nodes provisioned (Once functionality available from Morpheus)
- Create NSX tier0 gateway routers by choosing the new edge cluster created
