• We modified the Cloudify node type definitions for Kubernetes components to include a new node property, called location_id, that specifies the name of the site where the component should be deployed.
• We modified the DCAE Kubernetes plugin for Cloudify to read the location_id for a component from the blueprint and to use the location_id to find the target Kubernetes cluster and to deploy the component into the target cluster.
• We adopted the Kubernetes "kubeconfig" file format for storing information about the Kubernetes clusters available as deployment targets.   During the initial deployment of DCAE using Helm, we create a Kubernetes ConfigMap to hold the cluster information and automatically populate it with the data for the central site.   In the Dublin release, the ConfigMap must be edited manually to add clusters.  (As noted above, we believe there should be an ONAP-wide store for this data, and we hope that when we have such a store, the process of adding data for a cluster can be automated.)
• We allow components deployed into remote sites to access central site services through proxies (using nginx as the server).  We created a Helm chart to deploy and configure the proxy.

There is more information about these changes in this presentation.

The remaining sections of this document describe how to add information to the cluster ConfigMap and how to use the Helm chart to deploy the proxy into remote sites.
