Appendix

Terms

• Cloud Container Engine (CCE): A fully hosted Kubernetes service for you to build, run, and scale containerized applications.
• Elastic Cloud Server (ECS): ECS provides secure, scalable, on-demand compute resources, enabling you to flexibly deploy applications and workloads.
• Elastic IP (EIP): EIP provides static public IP addresses and scalable bandwidths that enable your cloud resources to communicate with the Internet. You can easily bind an EIP to an ECS, BMS, virtual IP address, NAT gateway, or load balancer, enabling immediate Internet access.
• Virtual Private Cloud (VPC): VPC allows you to isolate online resources with virtual private networks. VPC enables your cloud resources to securely communicate with each other, the internet, and on-premises networks.
• A cluster is a collection of compute resources, including a group of nodes. A container runs on a node. Before creating a containerized application, you must have an available cluster.
• A node is a virtual or physical machine that provides compute resources. You must have sufficient node resources to ensure successful operations such as creating applications.
• A workload indicates a group of container pods running on CCE. CCE supports third-party application hosting and provides the full lifecycle (from deployment to O&M) management for applications. This section describes how to use a container image to create a workload.
