Comparison Between CCE Turbo Clusters and CCE Clusters

The following table lists the differences between CCE Turbo clusters and CCE clusters:

**Table 1** Cluster types
Dimension	Sub-dimension	CCE Turbo cluster	CCE cluster
Cluster	Positioning	Next-gen container cluster, with accelerated computing, networking, and scheduling. Designed for Cloud Native 2.0	Standard cluster for common commercial use
Cluster	Node type	Deployment of VMs	Hybrid deployment of VMs and bare metal servers
Network	Model	Cloud Native Network 2.0: applies to large-scale and high-performance scenarios. Max networking scale: 2,000 nodes	Cloud-native network 1.0: applies to common, smaller-scale scenarios. Container tunnel network model VPC network model
	Network performance	Flattens the VPC network and container network into one. No performance loss.	Overlays the VPC network with the container network, causing certain performance loss.
	Container network isolation	Associates pods with security groups. Unifies security isolation in and out the cluster via security groups' network policies.	Container tunnel network model: supports network policies for intra-cluster communications. VPC network model: supports no isolation.
Security	Isolation	VM: runs common containers, isolated by cgroups.	Common containers are deployed and isolated by cgroups.

QingTian Architecture

The QingTian architecture consists of data plane (software-hardware synergy) and management plane (Alkaid Smart Cloud Brain). The data plane innovates in five dimensions: simplified data center, diversified computing power, QingTian cards, ultra-fast engines, and simplified virtualization, to fully offload and accelerate compute, storage, networking, and security components. VMs, bare metal servers, and containers can run together. As a distributed operating system, the Alkaid Smart Cloud Brain focuses on the cloud, AI, and 5G, and provide all-domain scheduling to achieve cloud-edge-device collaboration and governance.
