Data Plane
The plane in cloud service architecture that directly carries user business requests, pursuing high availability and low latency. It is contrasted with the control plane, which handles configuration, monitoring and billing.
Core Facts
Timeline (last 90 days)
The data plane is responsible for actually forwarding each request, emphasizing low latency and high throughput; the control plane does not touch user requests themselves and is only responsible for distributing and updating configuration.
In cloud service architecture, the control plane handles configuration, monitoring, billing and policy distribution, while the data plane directly carries users' business requests.
The concept of control plane originates from network engineering, used to distinguish the data plane (responsible for forwarding packets according to rules) from the control plane (responsible for computing routing policies, maintaining topology state, and issuing forwarding tables).
The control plane concept is borrowed from Software-Defined Networking (SDN), where the control plane is responsible for decision-making and coordination while the data plane handles actual data forwarding.
