Design and Implementation an OpenMCP distributed collaborative container platform for flexible scaling and service delivery

Abstract

Recently, many companies have been introducing micro-service architecture framework technology to increase development productivity and portability. Google's Kubernetes is a representative micro-service architecture framework that introduces the concept of clusters to provide flexible expansion and services[1, 2]. Kubernetes applies technologies such as Scheduling and Load Balancing on a cluster-by-cluster basis, and has the flexibility to add nodes or move services within a single cluster. However, it does not provide multiple-cluster services scheduling, load balancing or flexible dynamic cluster add/delete technologies. Thus, OpenMCP(Open Multi-Cluster Container Platform) was designed for flexible expansion and service delivery between Kubernetes based Multi-Cluster. Key features of OpenMCP include multi-cluster resource collection, resource analysis, scheduling, load balancing, Auto Scaling, Cluster Synchronization, Dynamic Policy, Domain Name Server (DNS) management.
