Does CCE Support the Cluster Federation Feature of the Kubernetes Community? Does Huawei Provide a Multi & Hybrid Cloud Container Solution?

Multi-Cloud Container Platform (MCP) is developed by HUAWEI CLOUD based on years of experience in the cloud container field and a community-advanced cluster federation technology (Karmada). It provides multi-cloud and hybrid cloud solutions for unified cluster management across clouds and unified deployment and traffic distribution of applications across clusters. It not only resolves multi-cloud disaster recovery, but also plays an important role in traffic sharing, decoupling of data storage and service processing, decoupling of development and production environments, and flexible allocation of computing resources.

Function

  • Centralized Cluster Management

    MCP provides cluster federation to centrally manage clusters of different cloud service providers. As a unified entry for multiple clusters, MCP supports dynamic cluster access and global cluster monitoring dashboard, which facilitates cluster deployment, release, and O&M.

  • Global Application Management

    Based on the multi-cluster and federation technologies, MCP manages Kubernetes clusters in different regions or clouds for unified global application management and cross-cluster application deployment, deletion, and upgrade based on the Kubernetes community federation standard APIs.

  • Cross-Cluster Elastic Scaling

    MCP supports cross-cluster auto scaling policies to balance the pod distribution in each cluster and implement global load balancing. You do not need to worry about horizontal scaling of cluster nodes. MCP automatically scales in or out your applications based on the service load.

  • Cross-Cluster Service Discovery

    MCP supports federated service creation and cross-cluster service discovery. It implements service region affinity based on the proximity access principle. In this way, when a service is deployed in multiple regions, the one in the region where the user is located is preferentially accessed, reducing network latency.

  • Standards Compliance

    MCP is compatible with the latest federation architecture of the Kubernetes community and provides Kubernetes federation APIs and Kubernetes APIs. You can use kubectl and APIs to deploy containerized applications without refactoring any service code.

  • Interconnection with HUAWEI CLOUD Services

    MCP seamlessly interconnects with HUAWEI CLOUD Application Operations Management (AOM) and ContainerOps to implement multi-cloud container monitoring and DevOps-based containerized pipeline capabilities from source code to image deployment.
