Manage your Nacos engine instances in MSE: upgrade versions, isolate resources with namespaces, protect service availability, and secure data transfer.
Upgrade the version of a Nacos instance
Microservices Registry of Microservices Engine (MSE) offers two editions: Professional Edition and Developer Edition. Each edition supports multiple Nacos engine versions. For more information, see Upgrade the Nacos engine version.
Enable empty list protection
Empty list protection prevents downstream services from receiving an empty instance list when all providers are temporarily unavailable, which helps maintain system availability. Enable it on the Nacos client (Nacos Java client 1.4.1 or later) or on the MSE Nacos server by setting an instance parameter. For more information, see Empty-push protection.
Enable empty list protection on the client. The Nacos Java client 1.4.1 or later supports empty list protection.
Enable empty list protection on the server. Set a parameter on the Nacos instance to enable this feature.
Enable the Nacos open source console
The Nacos engine includes a built-in console — the open source console — for direct engine management. For more information, see Nacos open source console.
Create a namespace
Namespaces isolate resources and services, preventing configuration conflicts across environments such as development, staging, and production. Create, modify, or delete namespaces as your deployment grows. For more information, see Manage a namespace.
Manage services
MSE tracks all services registered with your Nacos instance. View service details, remove a service, or add instances to a service. For more information, see Manage services.
Manage configurations
Centrally manage configuration files across your Nacos instance. Create, synchronize, and manage configurations, view historical versions, and query which clients are actively listening to a configuration. For more information, see Configuration management.
Ensure security and compliance
The Nacos engine supports Transport Layer Security (TLS) to encrypt data in transit. Enable authentication to prevent unauthorized access to or modification of your Nacos instance. For more information, see Enable TLS for MSE Nacos instances and Nacos permission management.
