Container Service for Kubernetes:Container Service for Kubernetes User Guide

Last Updated:Feb 28, 2026

Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) provides containerized application management services on Alibaba Cloud. You can create clusters, deploy and update applications, and perform operations and maintenance (O&M) tasks by using methods such as the ACK console and kubectl.

ACK managed clusters and ACK dedicated clusters

ACK managed clusters provide a managed control plane. ACK dedicated clusters give you direct control over the control plane. Both support the full range of Kubernetes capabilities on Alibaba Cloud.

For the complete guide, see User Guide for ACK Managed Clusters and ACK Dedicated Clusters.

ACK Serverless clusters

ACK Serverless clusters run containerized workloads without requiring you to manage node infrastructure.

For the complete guide, see User Guide for ACK Serverless Clusters.

ACK Edge clusters

ACK Edge clusters extend Kubernetes to edge computing scenarios. You can coordinate edge nodes and cloud nodes through a cloud-edge collaboration architecture.

For the complete guide, see User Guide for ACK Edge Clusters.

ACK Lingjun clusters

ACK Lingjun clusters support high-performance computing workloads with advanced scheduling and resource management.

For the complete guide, see User Guide for ACK Lingjun clusters.

Cloud-native AI suite

The Cloud-native AI suite provides tools for running AI and machine learning workloads on ACK, including dataset management, workload scheduling, and model serving.

For the complete guide, see User Guide for Cloud-native AI Suite.

Distributed Cloud Container Platform for Kubernetes (ACK One)

Distributed Cloud Container Platform for Kubernetes (ACK One) enables you to manage multiple Kubernetes clusters as a unified fleet, including registered external clusters.

For the complete guide, see User Guide for ACK One.
