The AKE cluster addon manager (Addon Manager) includes Addon Controller (a K8s Controller) running in the AKE management cluster and the AKE package manager running in AKE workload clusters, and defines Addon CR.
Addon CR is used to describe an addon installed in an AKE workload cluster. An addon represents an application package deployed in an AKE cluster. A package is a K8s application packaged as a container image. For example, Calico CNI, AVE CSI, MetalLB, and Contour can be packaged as packages. Each Addon CR can specify the name, version, and configuration parameters of a package, and supports updating configuration parameters at any time.
