The purpose of this document is to enumerate the APIs which are exposed by Akraino Blue print project to the external projects Akraino/Non Akraino for interaction/integration. This document should be used in conjunction with the architecture document to understand APIs at a modular level and their interactions.

API1: Karmada native APIs

These are set of native Karmada APIs. Karmada (Kubernetes Armada) is a Kubernetes management system that enables one to run cloud-native applications across multiple Kubernetes clusters and clouds with no changes to the underlying applications. By speaking Kubernetes-native APIs and providing advanced scheduling capabilities, Karmada truly enables multi-cloud Kubernetes environment. It aims to provide turnkey automation for multi-cluster application management in multi-cloud and hybrid cloud scenarios with key features such as centralized multi-cloud management, high availability, failure recovery, and traffic scheduling.

API2: EdgeMesh native APIs

These are set of native EdgeMesh APIs. EdgeMesh provides a simple network solution for the inter-communications between services at edge scenarios (east-west communication). The network topology for edge cloud computing scenario is quite complex. Various Edge nodes are often not interconnected and the direct inter-communication of traffic between applications on these edge nodes is highly desirable requirement for businesses. EdgeMesh addresses these challenges by shielding the complex network topology at the edge applications scenario.
