Deployment Architecture¶
DCE 5.0 offers three deployment architectures: beginner mode, 4-nodes, and 7-nodes.
The following table provides an overview of the terms used in the architecture:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Bootstrap Node | The bootstrapping node, also known as the bootstrap node, installs and executes the deployment program. It runs the container registry and chart museum required by the platform. |
| Global Service Cluster | This cluster is responsible for deploying all components of DCE 5.0 and utilizes Kubean to manage the cluster's lifecycle. |
| Workload Cluster | The workload cluster supports business applications and services. It should be deployed after successfully installing DCE. |
| DCE Component | All components of DCE 5.0, including product modules such as global management, container management, observability, Workbench, Multicloud Management, container registry, microservice engine, service mesh, and middleware. |
Beginner Mode¶
The beginner mode is suitable for individual customers and requires only one host. However, it is recommended to use this mode minimally by adding the -z parameter after the installation command when installing DCE 5.0.
4-Node Mode¶
The 4-node mode consists of one bootstrapping node and three master nodes within the cluster. It is recommended for PoC or test environments.
7-Node Mode (1 + 6)¶
The 7-node mode includes one bootstrapping node, three master nodes within the cluster, and three worker nodes exclusively dedicated to the Elasticsearch component. This mode is recommended for production environments.
