- Cloud Cluster:a standard k8s cluster, located at the cloud side, providing the cloud computing capability.
- Edge Cluster: a standard k8s cluster, located at the edge side, providing the edge computing capability.
- Connector Node: a k8s node, located at the cloud side, connector is responsible for communication between the cloud side and edge side. Since a connector node will have a large traffic burden, it's better not to run other programs on them.
- Edge Node: a k8s node, located at the edge side, joining the cloud cluster using the framework, such as KubeEdge.
- Host Cluster: a selective cloud cluster, used to manage cross-cluster communication. The 1st cluster deployed by FabEdge must be the host cluster.
- Member Cluster: an edge cluster, registered into the host cluster, reports the network information to the host cluster.
- Community: an K8S CRD defined by FabEdge, there are two types:
- Node Type: to define the communication between nodes within the same cluster
- Cluster Type: to define the cross-cluster communication
- Kubernetes (v1.22.5+)
- Flannel (v0.14.0) or Calico (v3.16.5)
- KubeEdge (>= v1.9.0) or SuperEdge(v0.8.0) or OpenYurt(>= v1.2.0)
PS1: For flannel, only Vxlan mode is supported. Support dual-stack environment.
PS2: For calico, only IPIP mode is supported. Support IPv4 environment only.
-
Make sure the following ports are allowed by the firewall or security group.
- ESP(50),UDP/500,UDP/4500
-
Turn off firewalld if your machine has it.

If you have any member cluster, register it in the host cluster first, then deploy FabEdge in it. Before you that, you'd better to make sure none of the addresses of host network and container network of those clusters overlap.
-
In the host cluster,create an edge cluster named "shanghai". Get the token for registration.

This configuration item is in the cloudcore configuration file cloudcore.yaml, please find the file yourself according to your environment.
-
Make sure cloudcore has permissions to access endpointslices resources (only if cloudcore is running in cluster):

Since v0.7.0, fabedge can manage calico ippools of CIDRS from other clusters, the function is enabled when you use quickstart.sh to install fabedge. If you prefer to configure ippools by yourself, provide --auto-keep-ippools false
when you install fabedge. If you choose to let fabedge configure ippools, the following content can be skipped.
Regardless of the cluster role, add all Pod and Service network segments of all other clusters to the cluster with Calico, which prevents Calico from doing source address translation.
one example with the clusters of: host (Calico) + member1 (Calico) + member2 (Flannel)
-
on the host (Calico) cluster, add the addresses of the member (Calico) cluster and the member(Flannel) cluster
-
on the member1 (Calico) cluster, add the addresses of the host (Calico) cluster and the member(Flannel) cluster
-
on the member2 (Flannel) cluster, there is no configuration required.

cidr should be one the of following values:
- edge-pod-cidr of current cluster
- cluster-cidr parameter of another cluster
- service-cluster-ip-range of another cluster

This document introduces how to install FabEdge via a script which help you to try FabEdge soon, but we would recommend you to read Manually Install which might fit in production environment better.

FabEdge also provide other features, read FAQ to find out.
