Starting from 00:00:00 (UTC+8) on April 14, 2025, Cloud Monitor no longer provides the Kubernetes container monitoring feature for new users. For more information, see Announcement on the discontinuation of the Kubernetes container monitoring feature of Cloud Monitor. We recommend that you use the container monitoring capability provided by Managed Service for Prometheus. For more information, see Monitor an ACK cluster.
CloudMonitor automatically collects the metrics of all the Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) clusters that belong to your Alibaba Cloud account. ACK clusters that are deployed across multiple regions can be managed in the CloudMonitor console.
Terms
For information about terms such as cluster, node, namespace, workload, and pod of ACK, see Terms.
For more information about ACK, see What is Container Service for Kubernetes?
Metrics
For information about the metrics of clusters, nodes, namespaces, applications, and pods of ACK, see Container Service for Kubernetes (new version).
Limitations
The metrics-server component of ACK clusters must be upgraded to V0.3.8.5 or later. For more information, see Update the metrics-server component before you update the Kubernetes version to 1.12.
For ACK clusters that are created after 10:00:00 on April 25, 2024, you must manually enable the monitoring feature of CloudMonitor for the metrics-server component before you can use CloudMonitor to monitor these clusters. For more information, see Enable the monitoring feature of CloudMonitor for an ACK cluster.
