# CCE Turbo Clusters and CCE Clusters

#### 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
Dimensions | Sub-dimension | CCE Turbo Cluster | CCE Cluster
--- | --- | --- | ---
Cluster | Positioning | Next-generation container cluster for Cloud Native 2.0 with accelerated computing, networking, and scheduling | Standard cluster for common commercial use
Node type | Hybrid deployment of VMs and bare-metal servers | Hybrid deployment of VMs

Network

Network model

Cloud Native Network 2.0: applies to large-scale and high-performance scenarios.

Networking scale: 2000 nodes

Cloud-native network 1.0 for scenarios that do not require high performance or involve large-scale deployment.

- Tunnel network model
- VPC network model

Network performance | The VPC network and container network are flattened into one, achieving zero performance loss. | The VPC network is overlaid with the container network, causing certain performance loss.

Container network isolation

Pods can be directly associated with security groups to configure isolation policies for resources inside and outside a cluster.

- Tunnel network model: Network isolation policies are supported for intra-cluster communication (by configuring network policies).
- VPC network model: Isolation is not supported.

Security

Isolation

- Bare-metal server: You can select secure containers for VM-level isolation.
- VM: Common containers are deployed.

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.
