AliCloud and China Telecommunications Institute jointly built the standard of cloud edge collaborative system
The Outline of the National 14th Five-Year Plan clearly points out the need to “synergistically develop cloud services and edge computing services”. Cloud edge collaboration technology provides more global elastic computing resources for all industries, and provides targeted computing resources for the edge side, accelerating the collaborative development of all industries and cloud computing. However, enterprises have different understandings of cloud-edge collaborative architecture, and the level of relevant technologies and products in the market is uneven. Therefore, the construction of a standard system is particularly important. In this context, China Telecommunications Institute, together with more than 30 enterprises and institutions such as Ali Cloud, jointly promoted the standard system of cloud edge collaboration. After extensive collection and in-depth discussion, in this conference, the cloud edge collaboration standard system was announced, and the White Paper of Cloud Native Edge Technology (2021) was officially released.
AliCloud Edge Container Service ACK@Edge has passed 33 capability tests
On the one hand, the establishment of cloud edge collaboration standard system can help enterprises accurately evaluate their cloud edge collaboration ability and formulate scientific and reasonable evolution path. On the other hand, based on the standard system, cloud edge collaborative product providers can accurately grasp the market demand and technology development direction, and promote the evolution of product form.
In the assessment of cloud edge collaboration capability in 2021 guided by this standard system, Ali cloud edge container service ACK@Edge obtained the standard certification of “cloud edge collaboration capability in 2021” through all 33 tests including basic capability, collaboration capability, security capability, service assurance, quality assurance and other capability inspection dimensions.
ACK@Edge is a cloud-side integrated collaborative hosting scheme launched after the deep mining of edge computing of Ali cloud container services and the implementation of the appeal of cloud native landing. Taking CNCF Sandbox project OpenYurt as the core framework, it adheres to the service concept of “cloud standard management and control, moderate autonomy at the edge”, adopts non-intrusive methods to enhance, and provides capabilities such as edge autonomy, edge unit, edge traffic management, and native operation and maintenance API support. In terms of architectural design, the three-layer structure of “cloud edge” has obvious layers, and the capabilities are coordinated:
Figure: AliCloud Edge Container Service (ACK@Edge) supports container application and resource lifecycle management for edge computing scenarios in a native way in terms of technical architecture functions, including:
- The application on the cloud is extended to the edge through the nanotube edge node, and the data between the edge and the cloud are linked, so that the edge node has the same capability as the cloud.
- The unified OPS capability of edge devices and edge applications is provided in the cloud to ensure less operation and maintenance and high availability of edge devices and edge intelligent applications.
Graph: Ali cloud edge container service (ACK@Edge) function overview is now widely used in CDN, real-time audio and video cloud service, online education, transportation, smart city, smart industry, IoT, logistics, water conservancy, energy, agriculture and other scenarios, covering hundreds of users in the industry, management of millions of container instances, Help enterprises simplify cluster operation and maintenance work and focus on the development and management of marginal business applications.
Based on ACK@Edge, STO IOT Cloud Edge Architecture “Selected Ten Best Practice Cases”
As a typical landing scene of IoT business, logistics industry involves a large number of automation, man-machine assistance and other system interactions around the four dimensions of people, goods, machines and vehicles, and is gradually forming a huge digital system. The traditional cloud-to-end architecture simply cannot meet the requirements of the actual side-end scenarios. Therefore, a set of cloud edge-end integration architecture with high availability, high stability and extensibility for mass device access is urgently needed. The Edge PaaS platform of the overall cloud Edge architecture of STO Express is based on Ack@Edge to solve the Edge resource management and control issues of physical resource dispersion, cloud pipe Edge end, Edge autonomy and cloud Edge collaboration. Shentong express IoT cloud edges architecture is the express industry in the first landing at the edge of the lateral evolution cloud native architecture plan, will express field core scanning check business through the cloud side coordination ability, in the edge of the whole scanning check core processes, support intercept express business, booking and other business, the double tenth wait calmly huge amounts of data to promote, Make express actual operation scanning user experience to a new level, entering the digital 2.0 era.
STO Express ‘edge end containerization based on ACK@Edge is also the first practice of edge end evolution cloud native technology landing in the express industry so far, and takes a leading position in the edge end scene of the express industry, creating a benchmark for the industry to implement the concept of cloud edge collaborative technology in the IoT industry.
Cloud edge collaboration era is coming, Ali cloud will continue to work with the industry to expand the cloud computing boundary
With the sharp increase in the number of Internet intelligent terminal devices and the arrival of 5G and the Internet of Things, it will become an important development trend of cloud computing to sink the capacity of cloud computing to the edge side and the device side, and carry out unified delivery, operation, maintenance and control through the center. Alibaba Cloud will continue to promote the development of cloud edge fusion technology and the implementation of cloud edge collaboration system through the open technology ecology and global partner plan, share the technology dividend of cloud era with more enterprises, and accelerate the upgrade of business intelligence.
