Enabling Additional Photon-RT Kernel Versions

Products

• VMware Telco Cloud Automation

Issue/Introduction

In Telco Cloud Automation (TCA), there may be a partner requirement to support out of band updates to Photon linux-rt kernel versions. These kernel updates address requirements such as enabling kernel config options or additional kernel modules to support partner workloads and bug-fixes to solve issues reported by the partner. These kernel versions are released by the Photon OS team and hence TCA needs to allow them while customizing a node for Network function onboarding.

Note: For details on updating Photon-RT Kernel versions for TCA in an Air-gapped Environment, see Updating Photon-RT Kernel Versions for Telco Cloud Automation System in an Air-gapped Environment (90483).
