Overview

Cloud Container Engine (CCE) is a container service that allows you to run containers efficiently in the cloud. CCE provides highly scalable, high-performance, enterprise-class Kubernetes clusters and supports Docker containers. With CCE, you can easily deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications in the cloud.

This document describes how to use APIs for performing operations on CCE, such as creating or deleting CCE resources, modifying resource specifications, or adding NICs. For details about all supported operations, see API Overview.

If you plan to access CCE resources through an API, ensure that you are familiar with CCE concepts.

CCE supports both Kubernetes-native APIs and proprietary APIs. With these APIs, you can use all functions of CCE.

• CCE has opened APIs through API gateway to support operations on cloud service infrastructures (for example, creating a node). Operations on cluster resources (such as creating a workload) are also supported.
• Kubernetes-native APIs: You can perform operations on cluster resources (such as creating a workload) using the Kubernetes-native API server. However, operations on cloud service infrastructures (such as creating a node) are not supported.

  For details about Kubernetes-native API versions, see https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/kubernetes-api/.

  

  • The Kubernetes-native APIs called in the current version do not support HTTP persistent connections.
  • The Kubernetes-native APIs in the current version include Beta APIs, whose version names include beta, for example, v1beta1. This type of APIs varies according to Kubernetes-native APIs. Therefore, you are advised to use this type of APIs in unimportant scenarios, for example, short-term test clusters.
