6G-Sandbox Site Administrators

Introduction​

Welcome to the 6G-Sandbox Site Administrators section. This documentation is intended for the technical teams responsible for setting up, managing, and maintaining the infrastructure and services of a 6G-Sandbox site.

Role of a Site Administrator​

Site administrators play a critical role in ensuring the successful deployment and operation of each 6G-Sandbox site. Their responsibilities span multiple layers of the system, from infrastructure provisioning to service orchestration and support for experimentation workflows.

Key duties include:

  • Infrastructure Deployment: Use the Toolkit Installer to automate the installation of essential components like OpenNebula (cloud management), MinIO (object storage), Jenkins (CI/CD), TNLCM (Trial Network Lifecycle Manager), DNS and Route Manager.

  • System Configuration & Maintenance: Configure networking (VLAN/VXLAN), storage backends (e.g., Ceph), and compute nodes to meet the minimum requirements defined by the project. Ensure that all components are properly interconnected and resilient.

  • Secure Access & Secrets Management: Handle sensitive configuration files such as core.yaml using tools like ansible-vault, and manage credentials and tokens required for site operations and repository access.

  • Component Integration Support: Assist experimenters and developers in deploying components from the 6G-Library by providing stable, correctly configured environments and resolving site-specific issues.

  • Monitoring & Troubleshooting: Oversee the health of deployed services, analyze pipeline executions in Jenkins, and provide first-line support for deployments within the site.
