This topic describes the updated features of and release notes for aliyun-acr-acceleration-suite.
Overview
aliyun-acr-acceleration-suite is a client plug-in that enables on-demand image loading and accelerates image loading. You can deploy this component on a worker node as a DaemonSet. Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) collaborates with Container Registry to enable accelerated images. After you deploy aliyun-acr-acceleration-suite in a cluster, the system automatically converts a source image into an accelerated image. When an image pull request is received, the system decompresses data based on your business requirements without interrupting services. In this case, the system does not have to download or decompress full data. This accelerates application deployment and enables on-demand image loading.
Only ACK managed and ACK dedicated clusters that run Kubernetes 1.16.9 or later support accelerated images. When you create a cluster, you must specify Alibaba Cloud Linux 3.2104, Alibaba Cloud Linux 2.1903, or CentOS 7.9 as the operating system of the cluster.
