• Multicloud application failover function.

• Centralized management of user/group, unified user/group management by multi-functional modules, opening up the user system and reducing management, operation and maintenance costs.
• The multi-model authorization model meets the needs of different enterprise scales, organizational strcture users and authorization models, realizing the shortest link authorization.
• Enterprise-level access control, unified authentication login system, and access to the container management platform through joint authentication to achieve single sign-on.
• Provide workspace/hierarchy management which is highly compatibel with enterprise business level, and meets the resource isolation and management requirements between departement levels.
• Flexible resource division. Resource division and binding based on resource granularity (namespace, cluster, registry, etc.), and unified allocation of container platform resources.

• The Microservice registry centrally manages all dynamic Microservices in the cluster.
• The Microservice traffic governance modle can be quickly integrated with mainstream Microservice frameworks.
• The registration configuration center can centally manage and configure Microservice-related resources.
• The Microservice gateway plays an important role in managing the north-south traffic control of Microservices.

• The application-centric, out-of-the-box, new generation cloud native observability operation and maintenance platform realizes fast fault location and quick troubleshooting.
• Monitor applications and resources in real time, collect data such as various metrics, logs, and events to analyze application health status, and provide alert capabilities and comprehensive, clear, and multi-dimensional data visualization capabilities.
• The mainstream open source compoments are open and compatible, providing fast fault location and one-key monitoring and diagnosis capabilities.
• It provides unified collection of metrics, logs, and traces, supports multi-dimensional alerts on metrics and logs, and provides a concise and clear visual management interface.

• It supports a variety of mainstream middleware: Redis, MySQL, Elasticsearch, RabbitMQ, Kafka, MinIO, etc.
• It supports life-cycle management of instances, meets a variety of high-availability cluster modes, and can custom the replicas and configuration according to the needs of the scene.
• It supports online resource and storage autoscaling.
• It supports unified monitoring of instance resources and business dimensions.
• Permission management for multi-tenant requirements can be implemented based on workspaces.

Product Advantages¶

• One-click creation/joining of container clusters for unified management of large-scale clusters across clouds/clusters. Graphical creation of pipelines to meet various needs. One-stop application distribution, compatible with multiple application formats. Comprehensive one-stop cloud native management platform.
• No need to perceive differences in the underlying Kubernetes platform, simplifying the application deployment process and lowering the difficulty of deploying applications to the cloud, allowing users to focus on application development without worrying about underlying infrastructure settings. At the same time, it establishes a foundation for users to use multiple clusters like they use a single cluster .

• High availability of applications, supporting distributed deployment of applications and automatic switching of traffic in case of single-point failures.
• Simplifying the application deployment process and lowering the difficulty of deploying applications to the cloud, allowing users to focus on application development without worrying about underlying infrastructure settings. At the same time, it establishes a foundation for users to use multiple clusters like they use a single cluster .
• Compatible with traditional microservice frameworks and cloud native frameworks. Traditional microservice frameworks do not require modification and can be easily integrated, highly compatible with traditional registration centers such as Zookeeper, as well as cloud native Kubernetes and Mesh registration centers. It also supports mainstream open-source microservice frameworks, such as Spring Cloud and Dubbo, and open-source gateway components, such as Envoy, Sentinel, and Contour.
• Rich monitoring metrics to achieve all-round monitoring of applications and early warning of high traffic peaks and application failures.

• Containerized application construction and customizable pipeline creation simplify the delivery process.
• Based on container technology, applications can be quickly deployed, verified, and circulated in different environments.
• Compatible with multiple application formats, accommodating diverse deployment and management use cases.

• The self-built cluster defaults to a high-availability deployment mode to ensure the high availability of your business. When a node fails or a natural disaster occurs, the application can continue to run, ensuring high availability in production environments and ensuring uninterrupted operation of business application systems.
• High availability of cross-region applications, supporting cross-region deployment of different container clusters and deploying business on multiple cloud container clusters in different regions to help applications achieve traffic distribution across multiple regions. When a cloud container cluster fails, the data center is down, or a natural disaster occurs, the mechanism of unified traffic distribution automatically switches the business traffic to other cloud container platforms, ensuring high availability of the application.
• Providing platform backup and disaster recovery solutions to ensure platform data and business security.
• Comprehensive monitoring system with a three-in-one monitoring system based on centralized cluster management that implements multi-layer and multi-dimensional monitoring mechanisms for clusters, nodes, components, and applications, facilitating rapid fault location and troubleshooting.
• Perfect user permission system that integrates Kubernetes RBAC permission system, supporting fine-grained permissions for different users, achieving resource isolation, and ensuring the security of business data.

• Multicloud heterogeneous, realizing the heterogeneous management capability of clouds and different vendor container cloud platforms.
• Providing highly automated and elastic heterogeneous multicloud support capabilities, adapting to x86 and ARM cloud system architectures.
• Supporting mixed-cluster deployment and unified management of x86 and ARM architectures, stably supporting application operations, and ensuring network interconnectivity between applications.

• Based on native Kubernetes and Docker technology, fully compatible with Kubernetes API and Kubectl commands.
• Provides a rich plug-in system to extend the functionality of cloud container clusters, such as Multus, Cillum, Contour, and other network plug-ins.
