Embedded Cluster Is Now Highly Available: Multi-Node Support Reaches GA
Blog post from Replicated
Multi-node and high availability support in Embedded Cluster is now generally available with the release of version 2.4.0, making it easier for software vendors to deliver Kubernetes applications to customer-managed environments without requiring Kubernetes expertise. The update includes an Admin Console that simplifies node addition, reducing setup time and bandwidth usage for large clusters. High availability is achieved through the replication of data and services across nodes, and automation of multi-node installations is supported by a new command, although node roles remain in beta. Vendors can customize customer deployment experiences by enabling or disabling multi-node support, streamlining installations according to customer needs. This release aims to simplify Kubernetes for application vendors and end-users, providing scalable and production-grade environments with minimal effort.
