Deploy the Warpgate component
When the platform is deployed in some edge scenarios, the actual network conditions will determine the efficiency of image pulling. This not only wastes bandwidth resources, but also increases the time for application startup or updates. In some weak network environments, it is impossible to ensure the resumption of image transmission.
To address this issue, the platform provides the Warpgate plugin, which provides a high-availability image repository proxy cache service for the cluster. This can greatly reduce the network bandwidth overhead and reduce the load on the central image repository. The platform builds a P2P network within the cluster to accelerate the distribution of images to each host node, achieving low-latency service startup and saving physical disk resources on the host, reducing resource consumption.
Use and Limitations
Only supports deployment in self-built clusters of the platform.
Advantages of plugins
-
Low resource consumption: The Warpgate component is deployed in the form of a Demonset, eliminating the need to deploy proxy components and additional storage space for individual nodes, greatly reducing resource overhead.
-
One-click deployment: Supports one-click deployment of plugins without the need to configure additional parameters, reducing learning costs.
-
Compatible with multiple image repositories: Supports proxying of mainstream image repositories in the industry: Docker Registry, Harbror Registry, Jfrog.
-
Resumption of transmission: Supports layer-level resumption of transmission in weak network conditions, making it easy to recover.
