Use scenarios
ACK AI Assistant targets minimizing the technology gap for ACK beginners and reducing the O&M complexity of Kubernetes. ACK AI Assistant can provide intelligent assistance to help you familiarize yourself with ACK.
Day-0 design and planning: helps you design and plan on-cloud containerization, such as providing suggested cluster or node configurations.
Day-1 resource and application creation: helps you design and create application configuration files, such as Terraform and Kubernetes YAML.
Day-2 O&M: helps you diagnose issues in the AIOps sector and generates suggested cost and resource optimization policies to improve the overall availability, stability, and security.
Find answers to questions
ACK AI Assistant can help you find answers to questions related to ACK, such as suggested node types for creating ACK clusters and introduction to ACK features. You can also use ACK AI Assistant to resolve technical issues related to the Kubernetes ecosystem, such as introduction to Kubernetes-native configurations, or use it to create YAML files that comply with the standards of Kubernetes.
Diagnose anomalies
You can view error messages and events generated for abnormal node status, pods, and workloads in the ACK console and click Intelligent Diagnostics to activate ACK AI Assistant to help you diagnose cluster and application anomalies.
ACK AI Assistant can perform intelligent diagnostics based on the monitoring data of nodes and applications in the current cluster, including abnormal status and events. In most cases, ACK AI Assistant displays the cause of the anomalies and provides solutions. If ACK AI Assistant fails to locate the root cause or provide solutions, you can perform an in-depth diagnostic to diagnose the abnormal pod or node based on the diagnosis experience of ACK experts. For more information, see Work with cluster diagnostics.
Prerequisites
Container Service for Kubernetes is activated and authorization is completed. For more information, see Quick start for first-time users.
Your account is authorized to use ACK AI Assistant.
If you use an Alibaba Cloud account, no authorization is needed.
If this is the first time you use ACK AI Assistant as a Resource Access Management (RAM) user, make sure that the cs:CreateSessionMessage and cs:UpdateMessageFeedback policies are attached to the RAM user. For more information, see Grant permissions to a RAM role.
Activate ACK AI Assistant in the console
ACK AI Assistant can help you find answers to your questions and diagnose anomalies. You can activate ACK AI Assistant on any page in the console to help you find answers. When cluster resource anomalies occur, such as node, pod, or workload anomalies or abnormal events, you can activate ACK AI Assistant through intelligent diagnostics to help you diagnose the abnormal cluster or application.
Directly activate ACK AI Assistant
Log on to the ACK console.
In the lower-right part of any page in the console, click the ACK AI Assistant icon and follow the on-screen instructions to activate ACK AI Assistant and use it to find answers to your questions.
Activate ACK AI Assistant through intelligent diagnostics
Log on to the ACK console.
Go to a resource page, such as a page below Workloads, find the abnormal resource, and click Intelligent Diagnostics below the error message.
ACK AI Assistant is then activated to help you troubleshoot the anomaly and provide a solution.
What to do next
