#理解自定义应用
自定义应用是一种基于原生 Kubernetes 资源（如 Deployment、Service、ConfigMap）构建的应用范式，严格遵循 Kubernetes 声明式 API 设计原则。用户可以通过标准的 YAML 文件或直接调用 Kubernetes API 来定义和部署应用，实现对应用生命周期的细粒度控制。由镜像、代码和 YAML 等来源创建的应用均归类为 Alauda Container Platform 中的自定义应用。其设计核心在于平衡灵活性与标准化，适用于需要深度定制管理的场景。
#核心能力
- 声明式 API 驱动管理
- 通过 Application CRD 将分布式资源（如 Deployment、Service、Ingress）聚合为逻辑应用单元，实现原子操作。
- 应用级抽象与状态聚合
-
屏蔽底层资源细节（如 Pod 副本状态），开发者可直接通过 Application 资源监控整体应用健康状况（如就绪端点比例、版本一致性）。
-
支持跨组件依赖声明（如数据库服务必须先于应用服务启动），确保资源初始化顺序和协调。
- 全生命周期治理
-
版本控制：跟踪历史配置，实现一键回滚至任意稳定状态。
-
依赖解析：自动识别并管理组件间版本兼容性（如 Service API 版本与 Ingress 控制器匹配）。
- 增强的可观测性
- 聚合所有关联资源的状态指标（如 Deployment 可用副本数、Service 流量负载），通过统一监控面板提供全局视图。
#设计价值
| 维度 | 价值主张 |
|---|---|
| 复杂度管理 | 将分散的资源（如 Deployment、Service）封装为单一逻辑实体，降低认知和运维负担。 |
| 标准化 | 通过 Application CRD 统一应用描述标准，消除 YAML 碎片化带来的管理混乱。 |
| 生态兼容性 | 无缝集成原生工具链（如 kubectl、Kubernetes Dashboard），支持 Helm Chart 扩展。 |
| DevOps 效率 | 通过 GitOps 流水线（如 Argo CD）实现声明式交付，加速 CI/CD 自动化。 |
#自定义应用 CRD 架构设计
自定义应用模块定义了两个核心 CRD 资源，构成应用管理的原子抽象单元：
| 维度 | 价值主张 |
|---|---|
| Application | 描述逻辑应用单元的元数据和组件拓扑，将 Deployment/Service 等资源聚合为单一实体。 |
| ApplicationHistory | 记录所有应用生命周期操作（创建/更新/回滚/删除）为版本化快照，与 Application CRD 紧密耦合，实现端到端变更可追溯。 |
#Application CRD 定义
Application CRD 使用 spec.componentKinds 字段声明 Kubernetes 资源类型（如 Deployment、Service），支持跨资源生命周期管理。
