Key Components

To begin your journey with IEC, it's helpful to understand the core components:

• Kubernetes Cluster: IEC is built upon an embedded Kubernetes cluster, managing resources like CPU, GPU, memory, and storage for your applications. Resources are allocated based on YAML configuration files. IEC contains a Kubernetes cluster that helps users define, install, and upgrade applications efficiently.
• Application Marketplace: An integrated Helm Chart registry to discover, install, and upgrade containerized applications — think of it as your cloud app store. It offers a diverse selection of applications for various domains and industries and supports one-click deployment to streamline maintenance. Furthermore, the platform supports the integration of external Helm chart repositories, allowing administrators to expand the available application catalog.
• EonKube: A unified management web GUI for all IEC platform roles. It provides a user-friendly interface for deploying and managing applications, workloads, and virtual machines. It also offers advanced administrative capabilities for system configuration, user management, monitoring, and more.
• EonOne: A tool for monitoring hardware health, resource usage, and performance benchmarks of Infortrend appliance devices. It provides comprehensive hardware management for compute, GPU, and storage resources, allowing users to monitor the resource status of each node and the overall cluster. EonOne is also used for accessing backup and restore settings.
