Highlights

• Introduces DPU-Accelerated Elastic Baremetal Cluster: Uses DPU devices to directly deploy and manage baremetal nodes, reducing deployment difficulty and improving network and storage performance.
• VM NIC Supports Individual Network Parameters: Supports configuring gateway, netmask, and DNS individually for VM NICs, enhancing network configuration flexibility.
• Supports VPC vRouter SNAT Forwarding Traceability: After SNAT is enabled on a VPC vRouter, forwarding logs are recorded to support IP translation traceability, meeting network security compliance requirements.

Overview

Supports 1:1 Deployment and Management of Baremetal Nodes through DPU Devices

A DPU-accelerated cluster deploys and manages nodes through the DPU devices on baremetal nodes, without relying on the deployment network or gateway nodes. It provides the following advantages:

• Decentralized design. The 1:1 mapping between a DPU device and a baremetal node avoids single-point-of-failure risks and simplifies the deployment process and operation difficulty.
• Network hardware acceleration is achieved through the OVS-DPDK engine on the DPU device.
• Storage performance is improved by directly connecting to primary storage through the SPDK engine on the DPU device.

Supports Ceph-Based Elastic Baremetal Instance Creation and Core Operations

DPU-accelerated clusters currently support integration with Ceph primary storage. You can create elastic baremetal instances based on Ceph primary storage and perform core operations, including creating, starting, stopping, deleting, and attaching/detaching Ceph volumes.
