Related Services

CCI needs to be interconnected with other cloud services. It requires permissions to access the following cloud services.

Figure 1 Relationships between CCI and other services

• SWR

  Software Repository for Container (SWR) provides easy, secure, and reliable management of container images throughout their lifecycles, facilitating quick deployment of containerized services.

  You can create workloads using SWR images.

• VPC

  A Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is a private and isolated virtual network on the cloud platform. You can configure the CIDR block, subnets, and security groups, assign EIPs, and allocate bandwidth for a VPC.

  When creating a namespace, you must associate it with a VPC. All containers to be created in the namespace will run in the VPC.

• ELB

  Elastic Load Balance (ELB) automatically distributes access traffic to multiple Elastic Cloud Servers (ECSs) to balance the loads. It enhances an application's fault tolerance level and capabilities of providing service externally.

  You can access a container workload from an external network through an elastic load balancer.

• AOM

  Application Operations Management (AOM) is a one-stop platform for O&M personnel to monitor application and resource operating statuses in real time. By analyzing dozens of metrics, alarms, and logs, you can quickly locate root causes to ensure smooth running of services.

  AOM collects the .log files of containers from CCI to facilitate log query and viewing. In addition, AOM provides resource monitoring to enable CCI to automatically scale resources.

• EVS

  Elastic Volume Service (EVS) provides persistent block storage services. With data redundancy and cache acceleration technologies, EVS disks can deliver high-reliability, durable, stable performance with low latency. You can format an EVS disk, create a file system, and store data persistently.

  You can use an EVS disk as persistent storage for a container and mount the EVS disk to the container when creating a workload.

• ECS

  Elastic Cloud Server (ECS) allows you to create cloud servers that provide scalable, on-demand computing resources for secure, flexible, and efficient applications.

  CCI imports data to SFS through ECS for container services to use.

• NAT Gateway

  The NAT Gateway service provides source network address translation (SNAT), which translates private IP addresses to a public IP address by binding an elastic IP address (EIP) to the gateway.

  You can use NAT Gateway to set SNAT rules to allow containers in a VPC to access the Internet.

• Data Encryption Workshop (DEW)

  Data Encryption Workshop (DEW) is a cloud data encryption service. It provides services such as Key Management Service (KMS), Key Pair Service (KPS), and Cloud Secret Management Service (CSMS). DEW secures your data and keys, as well as simplifies key management. DEW uses hardware security modules (HSMs) to protect the security of your keys and can be integrated with multiple Huawei Cloud services. Additionally, DEW enables you to develop customized encryption applications.
