What's New
Support for HostNetwork Mode NodePool
When the resources of edge nodes are limited and only simple applications need to be run (for instance, situations where container network is not needed and there is no need for communication between applications),
using a HostNetwork mode nodepool is a reasonable choice. When creating a nodepool, users only need to set spec.HostNetwork=true to create a HostNetwork mode nodepool.
In this mode, only some essential components such as kubelet, yurthub and raven-agent will be installed on all nodes in the pool. In addition, Pods scheduled on these nodes will automatically adopt host network mode.
This method effectively reduces resource consumption while maintaining application performance efficiency.
Support for customized configuration at the nodepool level for multi-region workloads
YurtAppOverrider is a new CRD used to customize the configuration of the workloads managed by YurtAppSet/YurtAppDaemon. It provides a simple and straightforward way to configure every field of the workload under each nodepool.
It is fundamental component of multi-region workloads configuration rendering engine.
Support for building edgex iot systems by using PlatformAdmin
PlatformAdmin is a CRD that manages the IoT systems in the OpenYurt nodepool. It has evolved from the previous yurt-edgex-manager. Starting from this version, the functionality of yurt-edgex-controller has been merged into yurt-manager. This means that users no longer need to deploy any additional components; they only need to install yurt-manager to have all the capabilities for managing edge devices.
PlatformAdmin allows users with a user-friendly way to deploy a complete edgex system on nodepool. It comes with an optional component library and configuration templates. Advanced users can also customize the configuration of this system according to their needs.
Currently, PlatformAdmin supports all versions of EdgeX from Hanoi to Minnesota. In the future, it will continue to rapidly support upcoming releases using the auto-collector feature. This ensures that PlatformAdmin remains compatible with the latest versions of EdgeX as they are released.
Supports yurt-iot-dock deployment as an iot system component
yurt-iot-dock is a component responsible for managing edge devices in IoT system. It has evolved from the previous yurt-device-controller. As a component that connects the cloud and edge device management platforms, yurt-iot-dock abstracts three CRDs: DeviceProfile, DeviceService, and Device. These CRDs are used to represent and manage corresponding resources on the device management platform, thereby impacting real-world devices.
By declaratively modifying the fields of these CRs, users can achieve the operational and management goals of complex edge devices in a cloud-native manner. yurt-iot-dock is deployed by PlatformAdmin as an optional IoT component. It is responsible for device synchronization during startup and severs the synchronization relationship when being terminated or destroyed.
In this version, the deployment and destruction of the yurt-iot-dock are all controlled by PlatformAdmin, which improves the ease of use of the yurt-iot-dock.
Some Repos are archived
With the upgrading of OpenYurt architecture, the functions of quite a few components are merged into Yurt-Manager (e.g. yurt-app-manager, raven-controller-manager, etc.),
or there are repos migrated to openyurt for better management (e.g. yurtiotdock). The following repos have been archived:
- yurt-app-manager
- yurt-app-manager-api
- raven-controller-manager
- yurt-edgex-manager
- yurt-device-controller
- yurtcluster-operator
