Environment Overview

An environment is a collection of basic compute (such as cluster and ECS), network (such as ELB and EIP), and middleware (such as DCS and RDS) resources, used for component deployment and running. ServiceStage combines multiple basic resources into an environment, including development, test, pre-production, and production environments. Managing resources, and creating and deploying components by environment simplify O&M management.

For details about components, see Component Overview.

Environment Type Description

Table 1 lists the environments supported by ServiceStage. For details, see Component Deployment Modes.

Table 1 ServiceStage environment types

Environment Type

Description

VM

Applicable to VM-based deployment. Components are deployed on ECSs or custom servers using software packages.

Kubernetes

Applicable to container-based deployment. Components are deployed using container images and scheduled by Kubernetes.

ServiceStage allows you to create HA and non-HA Kubernetes environments.

  • HA environment provides intra-city active-active HA capabilities for applications. This environment is applicable for deploying applications that require intra-city HA. Two clusters in different AZs need to be bound.
  • Non-HA environment is applicable for deploying applications that do not require intra-city HA. Only one cluster needs to be bound.

VM + Kubernetes

The environment type is VM + Kubernetes if clusters, ECSs, custom servers, and AS groups are managed in the environment at the same time. This is applicable to creating and deploying components based on VMs or containers in the same environment.

Environment Management Process

Figure 1 Environment management process

Figure 1 shows the environment management process. You need to determine the type of the environment to be created based on the component deployment mode, create the environment, and manage the basic resources of the environment.
