Concepts
System
A collection of interconnected components that work together to achieve a common goal. In cluster management, a system typically refers to the entire infrastructure, including hardware, software, and network resources, that supports the operation of clusters.
Realm
A logical grouping of resources within a cluster management system. Realms are used to organize and manage resources, such as clusters, projects, and users, based on specific criteria or policies.
Project
A unit of organization that allows users to manage clusters and CI/CD pipelines at a project level. Projects typically include resources such as clusters, applications, and deployment configurations, and provide a way to manage access control and resource allocation.
Control-Plane
The Control Plane Cluster is the area where the console provided by the Container Management Service and the S/W of add-on services required for development and operation are located. It is an area that monitors the resources of the Kubernetes cluster (Data Plane Cluster) where customer business applications such as AWS EKS and Azure AKS are deployed and operated, and controls and manages the resources of workloads such as container build and deployment, user and permission management, etc.
Data-Plane
A Data Plane Cluster is an area where workloads for business services are deployed and operated. One or more Data Plane Clusters can be deployed and managed depending on the requirements of the business. In a Data Plane Cluster, metrics for monitoring Kubernetes clusters and workloads and agents for collecting logs are installed and managed through the console.
Application
A software program or service that runs on a cluster. Applications are typically deployed and managed using CI/CD pipelines and can include web services, databases, and other types of software.
Deployment Group
A collection of resources, such as clusters and applications, that are managed and deployed together. Deployment groups allow users to define and manage the deployment of multiple resources as a single unit, making it easier to coordinate and automate the deployment process.
