-Getting and Preparing Deployment Scripts
-----------------------------------------
-
-Run the following commands in a root shell:
-
-.. code:: bash
-
- git clone http://gerrit.o-ran-sc.org/r/it/dep
- cd RECIPE_EXAMPLE
-
-Edit the recipe files RIC_INFRA_RECIPE_EXAMPLE and RIC_PLATFORM_RECIPE_EXAMPLE. In particular the following values often need adaptation to local deployments:
-
-1. Docker registry URL;
-2. Docker registry credential;
-3. Helm repo credential;
-4. Component docker container image tags.
-
-
-Deploying the Infrastructure and Platform Groups
-------------------------------------------------
-
-After the recipes are edited, the Near Realtime RIIC is ready to be deployed.
-
-.. code:: bash
-
- cd dep/bin
- ./deploy-ric-infra ../RECIPE_EXAMPLE/RIC_INFRA_RECIPE_EXAMPLE
- ./deploy-ric-platform ../RECIPE_EXAMPLE/RIC_PLATFORM_RECIPE_EXAMPLE
-
-
-Checking the Deployment Status
-------------------------------
-
-Now check the deployment status and results similar to the below indicate a complete and successful deployment.
-
-.. code::

+Installing Near-realtime RIC
+============================
+
+The installation of Near Realtime RAN Intelligent Controller is spread onto two separate
+Kubernetes clusters. The first cluster is used for deploying the Near Realtime RIC (platform and
+applications), and the other is for deploying other auxiliary functions. They are referred to as
+RIC cluster and AUX cluster respectively.
+
+The following diagram depicts the installation architecture.
+
+.. image:: images/nrtric-amber.png
+ :width: 600
+
+Within the RIC cluster, Kubernetes resources are deployed using three name spaces: ricinfra, ricplt,
+and ricxapp by default. Similarly, within the AUX cluster, Kubernetes resources are deployed using two name spaces:
+ricinfra, and ricaux.
+
+For each cluster, there is a Kong ingress controller that proxies incoming API calls into the cluster.
+With Kong, service APIs provided by Kubernetes resources can be accessed at the cluster node IP and
+port via a URL path. For cross-cluster communication, in addition to Kong, each Kubernetes namespace
+has a special Kubernetes service defined with an endpoint pointing to the other cluster's Kong. This
+way any pod can access services exposed at the other cluster via the internal service hostname and port of
+this special service. The figure below illustrates the details of how Kong and external services work
+together to realize cross-cluster communication.

+
+
+
+Prerequisites
+-------------
+
+Both RIC and AUX clusters need to fulfill the following prerequisites.
+
+- Kubernetes v.1.16.0 or above
+- helm v2.12.3/v3.5.x or above
+- Read-write access to directory /mnt
+
+The following two sections show two example methods to create an environment for installing RIC.
+
+VirtualBox VMs as Installation Hosts
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The deployment of Near Realtime RIC can be done on a wide range of hosts, including
+bare metal servers, OpenStack VMs, and VirtualBox VMs. This section provides detailed instructions
+for setting up Oracle VirtualBox VMs to be used as installation hosts.
+
+.. include:: ./ric/installation-virtualbox.rst
+
+
+One-Node Kubernetes Cluster
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+
+This section describes how to set up a one-node Kubernetes cluster onto a VM installation host.
+
+.. include:: ./ric/installation-k8s1node.rst
+
+
+RIC Platform
+-------------------------------------------
+
+After the Kubernetes cluster is installed, the next step is to install the (Near Realtime) RIC Platform.
+
+See instructions in ric-plt/ric-dep: https://docs.o-ran-sc.org/projects/o-ran-sc-ric-plt-ric-dep/en/latest/installation-guides.html
+
+
+AUX Functionalities (Optional)
+---------------------------------------------
+
+.. include:: ./ric/installation-aux.rst
+
+
+RIC Applications
+---------------------------
+
+See instructions in ric-plt/ric-dep: https://docs.o-ran-sc.org/projects/o-ran-sc-ric-plt-ric-dep/en/latest/installation-guides.html
