Orchestration
The Orchestration group covers entries related to coordinating and managing workloads across distributed systems. This includes container orchestration, job scheduling, CI/CD pipelines, build automation, and service mesh management.
CCC.K8S.F01 Managed Kubernetes Control Plane
Provides a fully managed Kubernetes control plane that has high availability, with automatic updates and patching.
CCC.K8S.F02 Managed Node Pool
Provides fully managed Kubernetes worker nodes (compute resources). These nodes are provisioned, updated, patched, and monitored for you by the service.
CCC.K8S.F05 OCI Container Image Execution
Supports running containerized workloads using OCI-compliant images, providing an isolated execution environment for applications.
CCC.K8S.F06 Container Registry Integration
Enables integration with public or private container registries to retrieve container images for execution.
Compute
The Compute group covers entries related to processing, execution, and runtime infrastructure. This includes CPU, memory, storage allocation, network ports, command-line interfaces, and elastic scaling.
CCC.K8S.F03 Virtual Nodes
Ability to have fully managed virtual compute resources to power Kubernetes worker nodes. This will eliminate the need to manage underlying nodes.
CCC.K8S.F04 GPU Support
Support for GPU-accelerated workloads through integration of GPUs, enabling high-performance computing.
Data Resilience
The Data Resilience group covers entries related to ensuring data availability, integrity, and sovereignty across its lifecycle. This includes replication, backup, recovery, region restrictions, and protection against data loss or corruption.
CCC.ContOrch.F07 Storage Integration
Supports attaching ephemeral or persistent storage volumes to running containers in the Kubernetes cluster.
Networking
The Networking group covers entries related to network infrastructure, connectivity, and traffic management. This includes virtual networks, subnets, load balancing, DNS, routing, peering, and network-level access controls.
CCC.K8S.F08 Built-in Ingress Load Balancing
Built-in support for distributes incoming traffic across running container instances to optimize resource usage and availability.
CCC.K8S.F10 Private Cluster Endpoints
Ability to restrict access to the Kubernetes API server to private networks, ensuring the control plane is only accessible within your VPC.
CCC.K8S.F11 Service Mesh Integration
Ability to integrate with managed service mesh offering by the cloud service provider for service discovery, traffic routing, observability, and security.
Resource Management
The Resource Management group covers entries related to the lifecycle, configuration, and operational integrity of cloud resources. This includes resource exhaustion, tag manipulation, version rollback, scaling, and cost management.
CCC.ContOrch.F09 Cluster Auto Scaling
Ability to automatically scale the number of worker nodes in the cluster based on workload demand, ensuring efficient resource utilization.
Access Control
The Access Control group covers entries related to authentication, authorization, and trust perimeter enforcement. This includes multi-factor authentication, least privilege access, network access rules, and prevention of unauthorized access or reconnaissance.
CCC.K8S.F12 Secrets Integration
Ability to seamlessly integrate with cloud native secret manager service to securely manage and access secrets, such as API keys, database credentials, or certificates, within Kubernetes workloads.
Observability
The Observability group covers entries related to logging, monitoring, metrics, alerting, and event publication. This includes audit trail integrity, enumeration detection, and protection against tampering or unauthorized access to operational telemetry.
CCC.K8S.F13 Observability Tooling Integration
Ability integrate with Observability tooling such as Prometheus and Grafana to provide comprehensive monitoring, and visualization for Kubernetes clusters.
