Important
Application Center is deprecated. No new versions of appcenter will be released, and ACK has stopped providing feature updates. Migrate your existing applications to ACK One GitOps. For migration guidance, see Best practices for ACK One GitOps.
The appcenter component enables centralized management of application deployment and lifecycle across multiple clusters. You can manage it in the Application Center module of the Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) console.
