    What is the difference between KubeVela and project-X ?

    Refer to the .

    Do yo support Crossplane? What’s the difference between terraform and Corssplane in KubeVela?

    KubeVela natively support Crossplane as they’re already CRDs, while terraform was not a CRD controller, so the KubeVela community author a for integration. You can choose any of them as you wish.

    • OAM(Open Application Model) is the model behind KubeVela, it provides a platform-agnostic application model including the best practices and methodology for different vendors to follow. The evolution of the model depends primarily on the practices of KubeVela currently.
    • KubeVela is the control plane running on Kubernetes, it works as a CRD controller and brings OAM model into your Cloud Native PaaS along with lots of addon capabilities. KubeVela will mainly focus on application delivery, the goal is to make deploying and operating applications across today’s hybrid, multi-cloud environments easier, faster and more reliable.

    Common Issues

    The document website is very slow to access.

    You can use as a faster alternative.

    You have reached rate limit for Docker Image Registry

    By default, the community use images from docker registry for installation. You can use the following alternatives:

    • Before v1.4.1, the image format is , e.g. “ghcr.io/kubevela/kubevela/vela-core:latest”.
    • After v1.4.1, the image format has changed to ghcr.io/kubevela/<align with docker hub>, e.g. “ghcr.io/kubevela/oamdev/vela-core:latest”.

    1. Alibaba Container Registry also sponsor KubeVela community, you can use as prefix for the docker registry, acr has a sync for each KubeVela official images. Use it like acr.kubevela.net/oamdev/vela-core:latest.

    This could be a potential problem for k8s 1.19. Try to run the following command and see if it can help.

    How to get my admin password of VelaUX?

    If you’re using v1.3, the default password is in the secret:

    If you’re using v1.4+, the default password is VelaUX12345.

    How can I build my own addon registry?

    We recommend you to use CRD Operator for stateful workload. If you just want to use StatefulSet, you can refer to to build your own easily.

    How to deal with slow multi-cluster requests?

    There are several common possible reasons for slow multi-cluster requests.

    1. Your managed cluster is far from your hub cluster. For example, one in Beijing and another one in London. This is hard to speed up. You might need to find methods to build stable network connections between them. KubeVela currently cannot help it.

    2. Your cluster-gateway uses version <= 1.3.2. There is a rate limiter in cluster-gateway in old versions. Therefore, if you have lots of multi-cluster requests, they will be blocked at cluster-gateway. Upgrade cluster-gateway to newer version could solve it.
