This topic describes the features of the aliyun-acr-acceleration-suite component and lists the latest changes to aliyun-acr-acceleration-suite.
Overview
The aliyun-acr-acceleration-suite component is a client plug-in that can load image
resources based on your needs. This speeds up image loading. You can deploy this component
on a worker node as a DaemonSet. Container Registry can automatically convert base
images to minimal images. You can use this feature with aliyun-acr-acceleration-suite
to deploy applications from minimal images. Image packages can be decompressed online
and you do not need to download all files in the image package. This significantly
accelerates application deployment and provides great elasticity for your business.
For more information, see Load resources of a container image on demand.
Note Only managed and dedicated Kubernetes clusters of Kubernetes 1.16.9 support minimal
images. To use minimal images in an ACK cluster, you must set the container runtime
to Docker and select Aliyun Linux 2.1903 or CentOS 7.7 as the operating system of
the worker nodes when you create the cluster.
