Cloud Manager is a central component that manages access to additional hyperscaler resources from the Kyma Runtime cluster. Its responsibility is to bring hyperscaler products/resources into the Kyma cluster in a secure way. Once Cloud Manager as a module is enabled in the Kyma cluster, Cloud Manager's features give you access to the respective products and resources of the hyperscaler providers.
Cloud Manager can provision the following cloud resources in the underlying cloud provider subscription:
- NFS server that can be used as a ReadWriteMany (RWX) volume in the Kyma cluster
Kyma Cloud Manager Operator runs in Kyma Control Plane and does remote reconciliation on Kyma clusters that have the Cloud Manager module enabled. It brings various Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) each representing some a specific cloud resource from the underlying cloud provider subscription.
The iprange.cloud-resources.kyma-project.io CRD describes the VPC network
IP range used for IP address allocation for cloud resources that require an IP address.
To learn more, read the IpRange Custom Resource documentation.
The awsnfsvolume.cloud-resources.kyma-project.io CRD describes the AWS EFS
instance that can be used as RWX volume in the cluster.
To learn more, read the AwsNfsVolume Custom Resource documentation.
The gcpnfsvolume.cloud-resources.kyma-project.io CRD describes the GCP Filestore
instance that can be used as RWX volume in the cluster.
