In ACK Edge clusters, create workload objects from the console or API using the same steps as in ACK managed clusters, including deployment, release, and configuration management. This topic describes application management and O&M workflows in edge scenarios.ACK Edge clusters with enhanced capabilities for unstable network scenarios.
Workloads in edge scenarios
Deploy, scale, update, and restore workloads to maintain pod stability and service continuity. See Application management.
ACK Edge clusters target multi-region nodes and on-premises data centers with unstable networks. To handle these scenarios, ACK Edge clusters offer enhanced workloads and extension capabilities.
-
Node pool application management: Computing nodes may span regions. ACK Edge clusters offer YurtAppSet to centrally manage multiple workloads—for example, creating, updating, and deleting Deployments. See Node Pool Application Set Management.
-
Enhanced DaemonSet update: Traditional rolling updates fail to meet edge requirements—for example, network disconnection can cause nodes to enter NotReady state, stalling updates. Enhanced models AdvancedRollingUpdate and over-the-air (OTA) overcome these disruptions. See DaemonSet upgrade models.
