Clusters

Clusters in Fransys represent the infrastructure where your applications run. They consist of multiple machines (called nodes) that work together to distribute workloads. Rather than handling each machine individually, Kubernetes steps in to orchestrate them, making sure resources are shared and balanced across the cluster.

What Is a Cluster?

A Kubernetes cluster is essentially a collection of nodes managed as one unit. Kubernetes handles how apps are scheduled and distributed, providing resilience, load balancing, and scaling across these machines—all while you focus on your app.

Interaction with Clusters in Fransys

In Fransys, you don’t need to manage Kubernetes directly. Instead, you define your cluster’s:

• Provider: Choose from different cloud providers (like AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Location: Pick a geographic region that aligns with your users’ needs.
• Composition: Decide the number and type of machines that make up your cluster, influencing both performance and cost.

Manual Scaling (For Now)

Currently, scaling your clusters—adding/removing more machines or nodes—is a manual process. You can adjust the number of nodes depending on your workload requirements directly from the Fransys dashboard. We’re working on automating this scaling, allowing your clusters to automatically adjust based on real-time demand.
