Cisco Operations Hub

Cisco Operations Hub

Cisco Operations Hub is a scalable, highly available, resilient, cloud-native software hosting platform used by Service Providers to host applications including Cisco Smart PHY and Cisco iNode Manager. Operations Hub combines Cisco developed automation software, open-source container orchestration software, and open-source observability software into a pre-packaged solution that can be easily deployed and maintained by operations teams.

Accessing Operations Hub

You can access the Operations Hub home page using the following URL: 

https://{Hostname}

Hostname is the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the Cisco Operations Hub cluster, which is configured using the ingress-hostname key of the deployer configuration. If the Cisco Operations Hub cluster is deployed without the ingress-hostname key, then you must use the Hostname format as {vip}.nip.io, where vip is the virtual IP address of the Cisco Operations Hub cluster.

We recommend that you use FQDN for the Operations Hub cluster.

Once you deploy the Operations Hub successfully, you can navigate through the Operations Hub Web User Interface (UI) from the Main Menu.
