Summary: * * * * on July 27, 2021, the trusted cloud conference, China academy of information communication released the virtualized cloud platform performance evaluation method, at the same time, announced the ali cloud become one of the first through the “virtualization cloud platform performance test (massive)” cloud vendors, and access to “2021 trusted cloud service large-scale best practices” of the title.
On July 27, at the Trusted Cloud Conference, China Academy of Information and Communications Technology released the “Virtualization Cloud Platform Performance Evaluation Method”, at the same time, announced that Ali Cloud became the first cloud vendor to pass the “virtualization cloud platform performance Test (large-scale)”, and won the title of “2021 Trusted cloud technology services large-scale best practice”.
In the elastic module of this test, witnessed by the staff of ICT, Aliyun completed the expansion of 10,000 cloud servers within 1106 seconds (about 18 minutes) with the elastic scaling tool.
To create thousands of cloud servers in a short time, the cloud platform control system needs to bear huge pressure instantly. Continuous creation means that the system is under constant high pressure and is easy to collapse. “It’s like a guy running 100 meters in 15 seconds is not difficult. His body recovers quickly, but it’s very difficult to keep running at that pace.” Ali Cloud elastic computing engineer stressed, “This is only under certain conditions of capacity expansion speed, ordinary users on the cloud capacity expansion faster.”
Most of the applications that are closely related to us, such as shopping on Taobao, inquiring about train tickets, browsing weibo hot spots, ordering food delivery and watching online videos, are deployed on the cloud. The operation of these Internet services requires cloud servers. The more users access these services, the more cloud servers are needed, such as online shopping promotion, sudden hot spots and other moments, often accompanied by instant traffic surge, need to open a large number of cloud servers in a short time to support.
One of the benefits of cloud computing is resilience, and one of the main measures of resilience is the dynamic delivery capability of cloud servers — the ability to scale up and down quickly. This can help enterprises timely undertake instantaneous flow, and timely release, avoid idle, greatly saving the cost of enterprise computing.
According to the statistics of daily user usage scenarios, the capacity expansion of 10,000 servers is basically the peak capacity expansion demand of current normal services, which reflects the capacity expansion capability provided by cloud vendors.
The trusted cloud published in the “cloud virtualization platform performance evaluation methods, standardizes the virtualized cloud platform performance evaluation mechanism, this paper introduces the performance, cloud platform includes the virtual machine batch operation performance, typical application scenario evaluation index of performance, performance, stability and so on four aspects, and regulate the performance test execution rules, testing tools, etc.
As an important underlying computing power of digital applications, the performance and stability of cloud servers are of great importance to both the society and enterprises.
The proposed performance evaluation solution applies to virtual cloud platforms deployed in public or private clouds. It provides a unified standard for cloud service providers to evaluate the performance, stability, and scalability of VMS and related application scenarios, and provides an important quantifiable reference for users to select cloud servers.
