# Solution overview
This solution is built by deploying the HPE Ezmeral Container Platform on top of HPE Synergy Composable Infrastructure along with HPE Synergy D3940 Storage Modules for HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric and HPE Nimble Storage to provide persistent block storage for this solution.
# Solution design
In this solution, HPE Ezmeral Container Platform Controllers, Gateway load balancers, Kubernetes master nodes and Kubernetes worker nodes are deployed on HPE Synergy 480 Gen10 Compute Modules running Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Figure 2 describes the minimal configuration of HPE Ezmeral Container Platform deployment on HPE Synergy.
