Cluster Roles¶

DaoCloud Enterprise 5.0 classifies cluster roles based on cluster functions to help users better manage their IT infrastructure.

Global Service Cluster¶

This cluster is used to run DCE 5.0 components, such as Container Management, Global Management, Observability, Container Registry, etc. As a best practice, it's not recommended to run business applications in this cluster.

You can have only one Global Service Cluster in a DCE 5.0 platform.

Management Clusters¶

This cluster is used to manage worker clusters. As a best practice, it's not recommended to run business applications in this kind of clusters.

You can have one or more management clusters in a DCE 5.0 platform.

• Classic Mode: deploy the Global Service Cluster and management clusters as different clusters, designed for enterprises with multiple data centers and architectures.
• Simple Mode: deploy the Global Service Cluster and management cluster as the same one cluster.

Worker Clusters¶

This cluster is created from scratch in Container Management. Worker clusters are designed for running business applications.

You should select a management cluster when creating a worker cluster. The selected management cluster will be responsible for the lifecycle management of all worker clusters under its control.

Integrated Clusters¶

This cluster is designed to allow you to use your existing clusters in DCE 5.0. To achieve this, you should first integrate the existing cluster into DCE 5.0. You may integrate on-premise clusters, public/private cloud clusters , edge clusters, and other provides.

It is recommended to run business applications in this kind of clusters.
