RustFS for Tencent Cloud TKE Kubernetes Service

Tencent Kubernetes Engine (TKE) is a fully managed Kubernetes service that provides high-performance, highly available container clusters and integrates with Tencent Cloud infrastructure and services.

Three reasons customers run RustFS on TKE:

• RustFS serves as a consistent storage layer in hybrid cloud or multi-cloud deployment scenarios.
• RustFS is a Kubernetes-native, high-performance product that delivers predictable performance across public cloud, private cloud, and edge environments.
• Running RustFS on TKE gives you flexible control over the software stack and avoids cloud lock-in.

RustFS deploys on TKE with the official Helm chart, making it easier to operate your own large-scale, multi-tenant object storage as a service. Because RustFS is S3-compatible from the start, applications built for the S3 API run against RustFS on TKE without changes.

Prerequisites

Before deploying RustFS on TKE, you need:

• A TKE cluster with worker nodes sized for your storage workload
• A block-storage StorageClass backed by the Tencent Cloud CSI driver (for example, CBS disks) for RustFS persistent volumes
• A load balancer for external access, typically a Tencent Cloud CLB provisioned through a LoadBalancer service or an ingress controller such as NGINX
• kubectl and Helm configured against your cluster

Deploy RustFS on TKE

RustFS is deployed with its official Helm chart; no Operator or CRDs are required. Follow the cloud-native installation guide for the deployment steps.

Common Capabilities

Storage tiering, external load balancing, encryption and built-in KMS, identity management, TLS certificates, OpenTelemetry-based monitoring, and audit logging work the same on every Kubernetes platform. See RustFS on Kubernetes: Common Capabilities.
