Components

The Managed Stackable Data Platform by IONOS Cloud consists of two components. The concept of a DataPlatformClusters and the backing DataPlatformNodePools the cluster is build on.

DataPlatformCluster

A DataPlatformCluster is the virtual instance of the customer services and operations running the managed services like Stackable operators. A DataPlatformCluster is a Kubernetes Cluster in the VDC of the customer. Therefore, it's possible to integrate the cluster with other resources as VLANs e.g. to shape the data center in the customer's need and integrate the cluster within the topology the customer wants to build.

In addition to the Kubernetes cluster, a small node pool is provided which is exclusively used to run the Stackable operators.

DataPlatformNodePool

A DataPlatformNodePool represents the physical machines a DataPlatformCluster is build on top. All nodes within a node pool are identical in setup. The nodes of a pool are provisioned into virtual data centers at a location of your choice and you can freely specify the properties of all the nodes at once before creation.

Nodes in node pools provisioned by the Managed Stackable Data Platform Cloud API are read-only in the customer's VDC and can only be modified or deleted via the API.
