- 1 x modest sized VM (8 vcpu 8GB mem) for combined QUADS stack (quads-server, quads-web, quads-db)
- The scheduling functionality can be used standalone, but you'll want a provisioning backend like [Foreman](https://theforeman.org/) to take full advantage of QUADS scheduling, automation and provisioning capabilities.
- Switch/VLAN automation is done on Juniper Switches in [Q-in-Q VLANs](http://www.jnpr.net/techpubs/en_US/junos14.1/topics/concept/qinq-tunneling-qfx-series.html), but command sets can be extended to support other network switch models as future RFE's.
- We use [badfish](https://github.com/redhat-performance/badfish) for Dell systems to manage boot order to accomodate OpenStack deployments via Ironic/Triple-O as well as to control power actions via the Redfish API.
- For QUADS to manage bare-metal systems **they must support IPMI 2.0 or higher and the [Redfish API](https://www.dmtf.org/standards/redfish)** in their out-of-band implementation. This is used for power actions, user RBAC and other features. Dell (preferred), SuperMicro and HPE have been used in our environments.

Any switch platform that supports industry-standard [802.1Q](https://info.support.huawei.com/info-finder/encyclopedia/en/QinQ.html) in layer 2 can theoretically work.
