Implement declarative tenant networking and local VM dataplane
Add tenant-scoped PrismNET routing, security-group, port, and service-IP APIs plus a deployer reconciler and Nix module that apply declarative tenant network state.

Teach PlasmaVMC to realize PrismNET NICs as a concrete local worker dataplane with Linux bridges, dnsmasq-backed DHCP, tap devices, richer network metadata, stable managed-volume IDs, and file:// image imports.

Expand the VM cluster validation around the new path, including the guest webapp demo, restart and cross-node migration checks, IAM listener reservation hardening, and a flake workspace-source-root audit so Nix builds keep path dependencies complete.

Testing

PhotonCloud treats VM-first validation as the canonical local proof path.

Canonical Validation

nix run ./nix/test-cluster#cluster -- fresh-smoke

This flow:

  • builds all six VM images on the host
  • boots the cluster in dependency order
  • validates control-plane, worker, gateway, storage, and fault-injection behavior
  • proves that deployer seeds scheduler-managed native services directly from declarative Nix cluster state

Publishable Checks

nix run ./nix/test-cluster#cluster -- fresh-smoke
nix run ./nix/test-cluster#cluster -- fresh-demo-vm-webapp
nix run ./nix/test-cluster#cluster -- fresh-matrix
nix run ./nix/test-cluster#cluster -- fresh-bench-storage
nix build .#checks.x86_64-linux.deployer-vm-smoke

Use these commands as the release-facing local proof set:

  • fresh-smoke: whole-cluster readiness, core behavior, and fault injection
  • fresh-demo-vm-webapp: focused VM demo showing a web app inside the guest with SQLite state persisted on the attached PhotonCloud volume across restart and migration
  • fresh-matrix: composed service scenarios such as prismnet + flashdns + fiberlb and PrismNet-backed VM hosting bundles with plasmavmc + coronafs + lightningstor
  • fresh-bench-storage: CoronaFS local-vs-shared-volume throughput, cross-worker volume visibility, and LightningStor large/small-object throughput capture
  • deployer-vm-smoke: prebuilt NixOS system closure handoff into nix-agent, proving host rollout can activate a host-built target without guest-side compilation

Operational Commands

nix run ./nix/test-cluster#cluster -- status
nix run ./nix/test-cluster#cluster -- logs node01
nix run ./nix/test-cluster#cluster -- ssh node04
nix run ./nix/test-cluster#cluster -- demo-vm-webapp
nix run ./nix/test-cluster#cluster -- matrix
nix run ./nix/test-cluster#cluster -- bench-storage
nix run ./nix/test-cluster#cluster -- fresh-matrix
nix run ./nix/test-cluster#cluster -- fresh-bench-storage
nix run ./nix/test-cluster#cluster -- stop
nix run ./nix/test-cluster#cluster -- clean

Validation Philosophy

  • package unit tests are useful but not sufficient
  • host-built VM clusters are the main integration signal
  • distributed storage and virtualization paths must be checked under failure, not only at steady state

Legacy Note

Older manual launch scripts under baremetal/vm-cluster are archived only for historical reference. They are not the release-validation path.
