Cloud Desktop cluster is managed by Kubernetes. Specifically, it is a distro of Kubernetes named K3s.

Management

For cluster management, see Cluster Management.

Configurations

We use k3s to run our k8s cluster. While leaving most configurations as default, we made the following customization,

• container runtime: docker

K3s Architecture

Namespaces

• clouddesktop-prod

  • Main namespace

  • Used for all active cloud desktops

• clouddesktop-dev

  • For testing cloud desktop images

Networking

The default networking backend is flannel with VXLAN as backend.

Ingress

The default ingress controller is traefik.

Storage

The default storage provider is local-path. In other words, we store all cloud desktop files locally on the node.
