Agent Mode Architecture

The following are architectural highlights of clusters deployed using agent mode.

  • You can bring an existing host with an Operating System (OS) of your choice.

  • You may also build the Palette agent into your OS image to have the agent natively installed on your host.

  • Support for bare metal, public clouds, data centers, and Edge devices.

  • Support for single-node and multi-node deployments.

  • Customizable site properties such as network proxies and certificates for Edge deployments.

  • Configurable Kubernetes API servers to work with virtual IP address (VIP) or Dynamic DNS.
