ACK Edge is a cloud-edge collaboration and hosting solution built on Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) for edge computing scenarios.
Features
ACK Edge clusters support lifecycle management of containerized applications and resources across edge environments. With an ACK Edge cluster, you can:
-
Create and manage highly available clusters — spin up clusters from the console and use built-in cluster scaling, updates, logging, and monitoring.
-
Connect heterogeneous edge nodes — attach data center devices, IoT devices, x86-based devices, and ARM-based devices, with colocation of heterogeneous resources supported.
-
Run reliably over weak network connections — node autonomy and network autonomy keep edge nodes and workloads operational when connectivity to the cloud is degraded or intermittent.
-
Manage edge nodes through reverse tunneling — use reverse tunneling for remote management and maintenance of edge nodes.
-
Deploy with cell-based precision — use cell-based management, cell-based deployment, and cell-based traffic management at the edge.
