This topic describes how to create a namespace, upgrade the engine version, enable empty list protection, manage services and configurations, and ensure data security for Nacos instances.
Upgrade the version of a Nacos instance
Microservices Registry of Microservices Engine (MSE) has two editions: Professional Edition and Developer Edition. Each Nacos engine edition has different versions. You can upgrade the version of a Nacos instance. For more information, see Upgrade a Nacos version.
Enable empty list protection
You can enable empty list protection on the Nacos client or MSE Nacos server to improve the availability of the entire system. You can use one of the following two methods to enable empty list protection. For more information, see Empty list protection.
Enable empty list protection on the client. The Nacos Java client in version 1.4.1 or later supports empty list protection.
Enable empty list protection on the server. You can enable empty list protection by setting a parameter for Nacos instances.
Enable the Nacos open source console
The Nacos engine provides a default console operation page, which is the open source console. For more information about how to enable the Nacos open source console, see Enable the Nacos open source console.
Create a namespace
Namespaces help prevent potential conflicts between resources and services and facilitate management and maintenance of resources and services in an orderly manner. This improves operation efficiency. You can create, modify, and delete a namespace. For more information, see Create a namespace.
Mange services
MSE manages services that are registered with your Nacos instance. You can view service details, delete a service, and add instances for a service. For more information, see Manage services.
Manage configurations
You can efficiently manage configuration files. This can reduce the maintenance cost and simplify maintenance operations. You can create, synchronize, and manage a configuration. You can also view historical versions of a configuration and query listening information. For more information, see Configuration management.
Ensure security and compliance
The Nacos engine supports Transport Layer Security (TLS) for secure data transfer. You can enable the authentication feature for Nacos instances. The authentication feature helps prevent malicious users from obtaining or modifying information about a Nacos instance. For more information, see Enable TLS for MSE Nacos instances and Nacos permission management.
