edge-cloud-provider-manager (ECPM) is a managed component of ACK edge clusters. It is used to send trace data to downstream Alibaba Cloud services and handles cloud resource provisioning for edge networking and load balancing.
Capabilities
ECPM integrates with the following Alibaba Cloud services: Edge Load Balancer (ELB), Edge Node Service (ENS), Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), Elastic IP Address (EIP), and Classic Load Balancer (CLB).
ECPM provides two core capabilities:
-
Raven resource management: Manages CLB instances, EIPs, and access control lists (ACLs) required by the Raven component.
-
ELB management: When a Service has
Type=LoadBalancerandLoadBalancerClass=alibabacloud.com/elb, ECPM manages the load balancer, backend servers, and listeners of the node pool selected by the Service.
ECPM is installed automatically in ACK edge clusters. No manual installation is required.
