Modifying or updating a cloud deployment

After IBM® Cloud Manager with OpenStack is deployed, you can modify your deployment and update your deployed topologies.

Adding the self-service interface to a deployed topology
IBM Cloud Manager with OpenStack features an easy to use self-service user interface for performing cloud operations, IBM Cloud Manager - Self Service. Deploying a cloud environment with IBM Cloud Manager - Self Service is optional. After you deploy your cloud environment, you can add IBM Cloud Manager - Self Service.
Adding a compute node to a deployed topology
After deploying your topology, you can add a compute node system to your deployment. This does not apply to the Minimal topology.
Adding a HA controller node to a deployed topology
After deploying your High Availability (HA) controller +n compute topology, you can add a HA controller node system to your deployment. This applies to the HA controller +n compute topology only.
Removing a compute node from a deployed topology
After you deploy your topology, you can remove a compute node system from your deployment. This does not apply to the Minimal topology.
Removing a HA controller node from a deployed topology
After deploying your high availability (HA) controller +n compute topology, you can remove a HA controller node system from your deployment. This only applies to the high availability (HA) controller +n compute topology.
Changing passwords and secrets
You can change the passwords and secrets that were used during the deployment process.
Cleaning up a node for redeployment
If you need to deploy a topology to a node that has been used for a previous topology deployment, ensure that the node is in a clean state and that any corresponding node data on the deployment server has been removed.
Updating a deployed topology
After you deploy a topology, you might need to apply fixes, either to the IBM Cloud Manager with OpenStack services themselves or to how the IBM Cloud Manager with OpenStack services are deployed.
Determining the fix level of deployed nodes
During the IBM Cloud Manager with OpenStack topology update process, you might want to know the current fix level of your deployed nodes.
Adding a region to a deployed topology
After you deploy your topology, you can add a region to your cloud environment to create or expand a multi-region cloud environment.
Adding disaster recovery to a deployed topology
After you deploy your topology, you can add disaster recovery (DR) to your cloud environment.
Adding central logging server (CLS)
After you deploy IBM Cloud Manager with OpenStack, you can add CLS on one of your systems by updating the topology file and environment file.
