Mirantis Container Cloud (MCC) becomes part of Mirantis OpenStack for Kubernetes (MOSK)!

Starting with MOSK 25.2, the MOSK documentation set covers all product layers, including MOSK management (formerly Container Cloud). This means everything you need is in one place. Some legacy names may remain in the code and documentation and will be updated in future releases. The separate Container Cloud documentation site will be retired, so please update your bookmarks for continued easy access to the latest content.

Kubernetes underlay

The Kubernetes lifecycle management (LCM) engine in MOSK consists of the following components:

LCM Controller

Responsible for all LCM operations. Consumes the LCMCluster object and orchestrates actions through LCM Agent.

LCM Agent

Runs on the target host. Executes Ansible playbooks in headless mode.

Helm Controller

Responsible for the Helm charts life cycle, is installed by the provider as a Helm v3 chart.

The Kubernetes LCM components handle the following custom resources:

  • LCMCluster

  • LCMMachine

  • HelmBundle

The following diagram illustrates handling of the LCM custom resources by the Kubernetes LCM components. On a MOSK cluster, apiserver handles multiple Kubernetes objects, for example, deployments, nodes, RBAC, and so on.
