This topic describes how to create a managed edge cluster in the Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) console. Managed edge clusters are designed to bring cloud computing to edges (clients). Managed edge clusters can be created, managed, and maintained in the ACK console. ACK is a platform that is developed based on the edge computing infrastructure and integrated with cloud computing and edge computing.
Prerequisites
ACK, Auto Scaling (ESS), and Resource Access Management (RAM) are activated.
You can log on to the ACK console, RAM console, and ESS console to activate these services.
- SLB instances that are created along with the ACK cluster support only the pay-as-you-go billing method.
- ACK clusters support only virtual private clouds (VPCs).
- Each account can consume only a limited amount of computing resources. Clusters cannot
be created if your computing resources are insufficient. When you create clusters,
make sure that you have sufficient resources. To increase the quota limit of computing
resources for your account, submit a ticket.
- You can create up to 100 security groups under each account.
- You can create up to 60 pay-as-you-go SLB instances under each account.
- You can create up to 20 elastic IP addresses (EIPs) under each account.
Background information

Result


On the Clusters page, find the newly created cluster and click Details in the Actions column. On the details page of the cluster, you can click the Basic Information tab to view the basic information about the cluster and click the Connection Information tab to view the information about how to connect to the cluster.
- API Server Public Endpoint: the IP address and port that the Kubernetes API server uses to provide services over the Internet. It allows you to manage the cluster by using kubectl or other tools on the client.
- API Server Internal Endpoint: the IP address and port that the Kubernetes API Server uses to provide services within the cluster.
- Testing Domain: the domain name that is used for service testing. The suffix of the domain is
<cluster_id>.<region_id>.alicontainer.com
.Note To rebind the domain name, click Rebind Domain Name.
kubectl get node
command to connect to the cluster and view the information about the nodes in the
cluster. For more information, see Use kubectl to connect to an ACK cluster.
