This article describes how to add an ECM node to the edge container cluster. ECM is short for Tencent Cloud Edge Computing Machine. Based on Tencent Cloud's edge nodes distributed in various regions, ECM provides cloud computing and networking services. The edge nodes are widely distributed, closer to users, and have the characteristics of low network latency, high availability, and low cost, which can seamlessly integrate with the edge container service.
Prerequisites
Create an ECM node
1. Log in to the Container Service console and select the cluster in the left navigation bar.
2. In the cluster list, click the ID of the edge cluster to enter the cluster details page.
3. Select Node Management > Node on the left side of the page to enter the node list page, and click Create ECM Node.
4. On the "Create Node" page, configure relevant parameters according to actual needs, as shown in the following figure: The main parameter information is as follows:
Edge Module: Select the edge module to determine the ECM edge node specifications.
ECM Instance Image: Tencent Cloud provides public images and custom images. The default is the same image as the module to which it belongs. Please select it according to actual needs.
Default bandwidth cap: Limits the bandwidth upper limit. If it exceeds this limit, packets will be lost by default. The default is 25Mbps, and the upper limit is 1024Mbps.
ECM Instance Name: Indicates the name of the instance to be created, user-defined.
Set password and confirm password: Define the password for logging in to the instance.
Security group: A security group is a virtual firewall used for network access control of instances. The default selected security group is the security group of the module to which it belongs, and users can modify the security group settings by themselves.
Advanced settings: You can modify the default settings. Please select according to actual needs:
The maximum number of Pods: determines the upper limit of the number of Pods allocated to each Node.
Container directory: Set container and image storage directories, and it is recommended to store them on data disks. For example, /var/lib/docker.
Launch configuration: shell script format.
Province of the Node: It is recommended to select the province closest to your customers, which can reduce access latency and increase access speed.
Node region: Please select according to actual needs.
Network type: Please select public network operators according to actual needs.
Free host security: Default selected, it helps users build a server security protection system to prevent data leakage.
Free monitoring: Default selected, it opens free cloud product monitoring, installs components to obtain host monitoring indicators and displays them in the form of monitoring icons, and supports setting custom alarm thresholds.
5. After clicking OK, wait for the corresponding ECM instance to be created successfully and its status to become Ready.
