To expand an edge cluster, you can add edge nodes to the cluster in the Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) console. In earlier versions, if you want to expand an edge cluster, you must purchase edge nodes and then add these nodes to the cluster. You can now purchase edge nodes on the cluster expansion page. Then, the purchased nodes are automatically added to the cluster. This topic describes how to expand an edge cluster by adding edge nodes of Edge Node Service (ENS) or by adding Elastic Compute Service (ECS) nodes.
Prerequisites
- A managed edge cluster is created.
- ENS is activated in the ENS console.
