In the post-epidemic era, "life on the cloud" and "always online" have become the new normal, enterprises' digital transformation and intelligent upgrading have been further accelerated, and technological innovation will become the main theme of the development of The Times. How to innovate quickly has become a major issue facing enterprises. Business Cloud transformation has become the bull of enterprise innovation, Cloud Native has become the darling of the current technology circle, and the rapid development of "cloud native" has become the consensus of the industry. So what are the technological innovations of cloud native? How to understand the hot topics related to industrial ecology? In the process of enterprise digital transformation, cloud native and what successful practical experience? Huawei cloud native technology elite Salon made a wonderful interpretation of this.
On the afternoon of November 28, X-Team Cloud Ecosystem Technology Elite Salon of Huawei Cloud eco-partner ended successfully in Beijing Hotel. The conference organizers invited TOP enterprise CTO, CIO, R&D director, architect and other technology experts in finance, SAAS, government and enterprise, equalization and other industries to gather together and talk about a cloud native technology feast.
At the meeting, Wang Yang, Huawei Cloud Native Product Director, delivered an important sharing titled "Huawei Cloud Native 2.0, from resource-centric to application-centric", discussing with partners the plan of cloud native ecological construction and development. The site pointed out a new way of development for how to redefine the implementation of cloud native foundation, how to enable ubiquitous application and realize the upgrade of enterprise IT architecture.
Cloud Native 2.0 enables thousands of businesses and becomes the "new infrastructure" in the digital era.
Referring to the change and development of enterprise IT architecture, Wang Yang believes: "From the perspective of the whole industry, enterprise IT architecture has gone through three stages." The first stage is "device-centric". Enterprises build IT systems by purchasing servers, but there is a problem of software and hardware separation. The second stage is "resource-centric", realizing software migration to the cloud by unifying the cloud resource pool. The third stage is "application-centric", where application automation is achieved through cloud native infrastructure and software cloud native architecture.
From 2015 to 2020, enterprise IT digitization strategy has evolved from "Cloud First" to "Cloud Native First", and "cloud native" has become the new driving force for enterprise architecture upgrading, while cloud native infrastructure represented by K8S has been widely accepted by various industries. The single application ecosystem in the 1.0 era of cloud native lacks application-level disaster recovery capability, applications cannot be scheduled across data centers, and applications are separated from resources. Huawei Cloud builds application-centered cloud native infrastructure and proposes "cloud native IN infrastructure" in a pioneering way. By redefining infrastructure, enabling ubiquitous applications and upgrading application architecture, Huawei Cloud rapidly pushes cloud native to the 2.0 era:
Redefining infrastructure: Fully upgrading computing, storage, and network definitions with an "application" focus;
Newly enabled ubiquitous application: achieve comprehensive cross-cloud scheduling, distribution, operation and maintenance, and governance consistent experience of cloud native application;
Then upgrade the application architecture: Build a standardized, all-category application ecology, and unify the access and lifecycle management of cloud native applications.
Based on infrastructure construction in the digital age, Wang Yang believes that "Cloud native 2.0 can play a huge role in the digital transformation of government and enterprise." Huawei Cloud realizes application-centric resource scheduling based on the Optimus architecture and provides high-performance, low-cost, and excellent experience cloud native infrastructure by combining software and hardware collaboration technologies, enabling enterprises to move from resource-centric to application-centric. Huawei Cloud also builds a collaborative management platform of "multi-cloud" and "edge cloud" based on technologies such as cloud native cluster federation and edge cloud collaboration, helping enterprises to build an efficient, reliable and cross-cloud unified business platform.
Huawei cloud native infrastructure also includes "Cloud Native Application Center", which currently supports 130+ cloud native applications, covering stateless applications of micro service architecture and stateful applications such as distributed middleware, AI and big data. It has also introduced new applications such as edge computing, 5G and blockchain to cater to the development of The Times, allowing enterprises to freely choose combinations just like "visiting the supermarket on the cloud". According to their own business development to build the cloud native business architecture.
Industry leaders gather together, cloud native 2.0 to achieve technology + industrial dual-wheel drive
At this salon, Zhang Jioxu, technical director of China Software Tax Business Headquarters, delivered the sharing of "Redefining Infrastructure", telling about the "cloud-based electronic Tax Bureau (Smart Tax)" based on Huawei Cloud Native Cloud. By adopting the on-site mixed editing mode, the two parties can greatly improve the development efficiency, and at the same time, reverse integrate into their own design concepts and transform the value, so as to jointly build the supporting capacity of the smart tax industry. Meanwhile, Huawei Kunpeng series products can cope with high pressure tests. Through deep cooperation, the two sides have completed 31 reliability tests involving k8s and micro services and 23 third-party component interconnection and coordination tests. It solves various bottlenecks in high-density tax service deployment scenarios and redefines the value of infrastructure.
Zhao Guibin, CTO of Beijing Yizhang Yunfeng Technology, gave his own views on how to build a new multi-place and multi-center business system based on cloud native. He believes that in the era of Cloud 2.0, cloud native acceleration enables enterprise applications to land easily. Enterprises rely on Huawei Cloud to build a collaborative management platform for multi-cloud and edge cloud, and get rid of the restriction of "multi-place and multi-center" architecture on large-scale business development. Cloud Native not only provides enterprises with a consistent management experience in multi-cloud, but also simplifies the complexity of business operation and maintenance in a multi-cloud environment, making difficult problems such as cross-cloud capacity expansion and migration of data "gone forever". Cloud Native maximizes the efficiency and benefit of enterprise applications.
Cloud native can also help enterprises achieve agile delivery and innovation, and help enterprises upgrade IT application architecture. Jia Weibo, delivery director of Shanghai Zhenyun Information Technology Co., LTD., said that Huawei Cloud builds an open and standardized application ecology, and builds a standardized platform for unified distribution, on-line operation and maintenance through stateful applications such as distributed middleware and new applications such as 5G, realizing the full life cycle management and helping enterprises quickly build intelligent data computing services. At present, Huawei cloud services are widely used in Zhenyun products, and Zhenyun SRM is also fully settled in Huawei Yanxuan Mall, helping enterprises realize agile delivery and innovation.
Through the sharing of industry celebrities, it can be predicted that in the era of cloud native 2.0, the integration of cloud native and underlying computing, network and storage resources is deepening, becoming the "key" for enterprises to "cloud-wise" digital transformation and upgrading. IN contrast, Huawei proposes the integration architecture of "cloud native in infrastructure" in a pioneering way, providing enterprises with a cloud-native "new infrastructure" featuring collaboration between software and hard, natural cloudy and rich application ecology through "redefining infrastructure, enabling new ubiquitous applications and upgrading application architecture".
Now, the new era of cloud native 2.0 has been opened. Huawei and its partners accelerate the integration of cloud native and infrastructure to realize the two-wheel drive of technology and industry. According to Gartner, 75% of global enterprises will use cloud-native containerized applications in production by 2022. This year, Huawei Cloud not only jointly released the cloud native white paper with Forrester, but also launched a series of cooperation plans with the majority of enterprises, industry standards institutions, analyst institutions, hand in hand to promote the cloud native to the cloud native 2.0 era. Obviously, cloud native 2.0 has become the "propeller" of enterprise digital transformation road, will help more enterprises to accelerate the realization of digital upgrading!
