### Network Fabric

37-
Network Fabric (NF) is an Operator Nexus resource is a representation of your on-premises network topology in Azure. Every Network Fabric must be associated to and controlled by a Network Fabric Controller which is deployed in the same Azure region. You can associate multiple Network Fabric resources per Network Fabric Controller, see [Nexus Limits and Quotas](./reference-limits-and-quotas.md). A single deployment of Operator's infrastructure is considered a Network Fabric intance.

Operator Nexus allows you to create Network Fabrics based on specific SKU types, where each SKU represents the number of network racks and compute servers in each rack deployed on-premises. You can create Network Fabric of the following SKU types -
40-
41-
* M4-A400-A100-C16-aa for up to four compute racks and 16 servers in each rack

4441
Each Network Fabric resource can contain a collection of network racks, network devices, isolation domains for their interconnections. Once a Network Fabric is created and you've validated that your network devices are connected, then it can be Provisioned. Provisioning a Network Fabric is the process of bootstrapping the Network Fabric instance to get the management network up.
4542

4643
You can manage the lifecycle of a Network Fabric via Azure using any of the supported interfaces - Azure CLI, REST API, etc. See [how to create and provision a Network Fabric](./howto-configure-network-fabric.md) to learn more.

### Network Racks
45+
### Network racks
4946

5047
Network Rack resource is a representation of your on-premises Racks from the networking perspective. The number of network racks in an Operator Nexus instance depends on the Network Fabric SKU which was chosen while creation. In a multi-rack setup, you can create up to either 4 compute racks + 1 aggregate rack or 8 compute racks + 1 aggregate rack.
5148

5249
Each network rack consists of Network Devices which are part of that rack. For example - Customer Edge (CE) routers, Top of Rack (ToR) Switches, Management Switches, Network Packet Brokers (NPB).
5350

5451
The Network Rack also models the connectivity to the operator's Physical Edge switches (PEs) and the ToRs on the other Racks via Network to Network Interconnect (NNI) resource.
5552

56-
The lifecycle of Network Rack resources are tied to the Network Fabric resource. The Network Racks are automatically created when you create the Network Fabric and the number of racks depends on the SKU which was chosen. When the Network Fabric resource is deleted, all the associated Network Racks are also deleted along with it.

### Network devices
5956

6057
Network Devices represent the Customer Edge (CE) routers, Top of Rack (ToR) Switches, Management Switches, Network Packet Brokers (NPB) which are deployed as part of the Network Fabric instance. Each Network Device resource is associated to a specific Network Rack where it is deployed.
6158

6259
Each network device resource has a SKU, Role, Host Name, and Serial Number as properties, and can have multiple network interfaces associated. Network Interfaces contain the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, physical identifier, interface type, and the associated connections. Network Interfaces also has the administrativeState property which indicates whether the interface is enabled or disabled.
6360

6461
The lifecycle of the Network Interface depends on the Network Device and can exist as long as the parent network device resource exists. However, you can perform certain operations on a network interface resource like enable/disable the administrativeState via Azure using any of the supported interfaces - Azure CLI, REST API, etc.
6562

66-
The lifecycle of the Network Device resources depend on the network rack resource and will exist as long as the parent Network Fabric resource exists. However, before provisioning the Network Fabric, you can perform certain operations on a network device like setting a custom hostname and updating the serial number of the device via Azure using any of the supported interfaces - Azure CLI, REST API, etc.

### Isolation domains
6966

7067
Isolation Domains enable east-west or north-south connectivity across Operator Nexus instance. They provide the required network connectivity between infrastructure components and also workload components. In principle, there are two types of networks which are established by isolation domains - management network and workload or tenant network.
7168

7269
Management network is the private connectivity that enables communication between the Network Fabric instance which is deployed on-premises and Azure Virtual Network. You can create workload or tenant networks to enable communication between the workloads which are deployed across the Operator Nexus instance.
7370

7471
Each isolation domain is associated to a specific Network Fabric resource and has the option to be enabled/disabled. Only when an isolation domain is enabled, it's configured on the network devices and the configuration is removed once the isolation domain is removed.

This document provides an overview of the resource limits that apply to the components used in the Nexus solution, encompassing the resources created within Azure cloud and in on-premises instance. It outlines the specific limitations and restrictions that operators should be aware of when deploying and managing the Nexus instance across these environments.
