The Centaurus project aims to build a cloud infrastructure platform for managing large-scale computer nodes through Kubernetes API. The project addresses challenges in managing clusters with over 10,000 computer nodes and provisioning over 5,000 VMs within minutes. The project also aims to unify platforms for managing VMs, containers, and serverless applications, and to provide a multi-tenant Kubernetes with isolation for customers. The project is driven by customer requests for deploying hybrid applications with a single API and for managing AI training on both cloud and edge nodes.
