Full stack cloud all-in-one machine, from the literal interpretation, “full stack cloud” is the content, “all-in-one machine” is the form, and “full stack cloud all-in-one machine” is the perfect unification of content and form.
One click on the cloud, open the box is the cloud, this is the cloud computing manufacturers to enterprise users painted a beautiful blueprint. So how can this blueprint be successfully implemented? The eight immortals cross the sea, each showing his ability. However, from the point of view of practice, a lot of manufacturers, users are competing to squeeze the all-in-one machine this “single-plank bridge”.
The earliest all – in – one machine is to solve the problem of hardware and software integration, integration and fast delivery. When hyperconvergence begins to prevail, the fusioncube becomes the best carrier to realize the integration of software-defined computing, storage, and network and improve resource utilization. The rise of hyperconvergence has caused people to simplify the deep thinking on the cloud. Since the process of going to the cloud is complex, since the cloud supports all workloads instead of the traditional IT architecture, and since users don’t want to waste time on the infrastructure and just want to focus on their own business, offering a full stack of IaaS, PaaS, CaaS, microservices, etc., on top of the all-in-one architecture, Is it another good way to accelerate the enterprise on the cloud?
Was it a coincidence, or did it just happen? Anyway, NetEase cloud became that “eat crab” person.
Full stack cloud is the broad road of cloud on the enterprise
On the annual NetEase cloud creates a conference, it is new idea, new technology, new product “3 new” gather together, still be NetEase cloud and tide roll out nevertheless the first cloud computing whole stack all in one machine — vast sea all in one machine murdered the film that photographer has the most.
The all-in-one machine is a familiar product, but the term “full stack cloud” is the time when “small lotus just showed its sharp corners”.
Not long ago, The Forrester Wave: Full-stack Public Cloud Development Platforms In China, Q3 2018 “report published, let us have a comprehensive understanding of China’s full-stack Public Cloud platform providers. One of the conclusions of the report is that, against the background of public cloud rising rapidly in China, full-stack public cloud platforms are increasingly favored by Chinese industry users. Chinese cloud service providers are expanding their public cloud offerings beyond IaaS into broader development and infrastructure services, known as full-stack platforms. Full-stack cloud development platform is the key to realize digital transformation. Cloud service providers are not only building and improving their full-stack capabilities, but also enterprise users are using full-stack platform to enhance their competitiveness.
As cloud computing progresses, it is becoming increasingly clear to enterprise users that IaaS alone is not enough to achieve digital transformation. Enterprises need a more flexible development platform, PaaS, and support a variety of SaaS applications. Gartner has predicted that only vendors offering total IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS solutions will dominate the cloud market by 2020.
The so-called full stack cloud can be understood as the full stack cloud service capability covering IaaS and PaaS, but also can provide network communication, hybrid cloud solutions and full life cycle management, and can keep pace with The Times and constantly absorb new technologies, such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, 5G, blockchain, etc.
Forrester’s report shows that in the public cloud space, full-stack service capability is a new test for cloud service providers and will gradually become a basic requirement. Expect the same trend to come in the private cloud space.
Wang Yuan, vice president of NetEase and executive director of NetEase Hangzhou Research Institute, believes that the current cloud has become a basic consensus, but not all cloud computing can be applied to the transformation of specific enterprises. What kind of cloud computing implementation methodology is the most practical, what kind of cloud computing solution can let enterprise users once and for all, and what kind of cloud is the most suitable for users? The cloud that ensures smooth evolution of the system, can be controlled independently without being locked by cloud manufacturers, and has a steady stream of ecological talents is the most suitable cloud for enterprises.
Actually, not just in the infrastructure level, even at the application level, enterprise customers don’t want the hardware and software from different suppliers, and then to complete system integration and validation, but many hope that the cloud technology, products, and even can carry on the integration and test in advance, cloud one-stop solution to the problem.
Full stack cloud is the voice of customers, and cloud solution providers and service providers are duty-bound to meet customer needs.
Aircraft carriers with integrated naval and air combat capabilities
The development of the all-in-one machine model to today, can be said to have reached a new height, the combination of all kinds of functions defined by the hardware and software of the all-in-one machine, spawned a variety of beautiful things in eyes, a wide variety of all-in-one machine. In addition to the hyper-converged fusioncube, which is the core support of cloud infrastructure, more and more fusioncube are combined with applications and enterprise services, resulting in big data all-in-one and AI all-in-one. On the one hand, the universal all-in-one machine can serve as the cornerstone of IaaS and PaaS. On the other hand, the all – in – one also realizes scenarioization and becomes a shortcut to solve specific business problems.
NetEase Cloud’s full-stack all-in-one cloud machine can build an Internet-based IT infrastructure for enterprise users, helping enterprises cope with the challenges of high concurrency and high flexibility in Internet services. This combination of hardware and software can significantly reduce the difficulty of infrastructure operation and maintenance, improve delivery efficiency, speed up the process of enterprise cloud access, and build an Internet-based cloud infrastructure.
If the integration of soft and hard is the blood and flesh of NetEase Cloud full-stack cloud all-in-one machine, then NetEase cloud’s newly launched “Light boat” micro-service solution and “Vast” private cloud are the spirit and soul. Why do you say that?
According to Forrester, most full-stack cloud providers are currently working to enhance their existing cloud capabilities and launch new services, including AI, IoT, CaaS, SaaS and even blockchain, through service innovation based on new technologies, to facilitate the digital transformation of enterprises. Opening up and supporting DevOps are two prominent features of NetEase Cloud’s newly launched “Light Boat” micro-service solution. “Light Boat” integrates the container services built by NetEase Cloud based on Kubernetes, as well as the capabilities of service registration, service governance, link tracking, monitoring, diagnosis and high availability operation and maintenance required by the life cycle of micro-service applications, and solves the problem of enterprise IT long-term evolution from the level of software architecture. Wang yuan said that NetEase Cloud “Light Boat” is the most complete micro service solution in the industry, and has withstood the test of heavy users. For example, with the help of the core capability of “Light Boat”, kaola.com, a large-scale business with tens of millions of daily activities, has increased its software product quality by 52% from two releases per day to 1,000 releases per day.
“Hanhai” private cloud of NetEase Cloud, called by Wang Yuan as the most powerful private cloud in the field of open source, has achieved a complete package of basic services such as IT basic resources, database, cache and so on, and has packaged these basic services together to provide one-stop service to users. Hanhai integrates IaaS, PaaS, and Canoe microservices solutions into a full stack cloud. A single cluster supports 5000 physical nodes, 30,000 cloud hosts, “vast” as the sea surging, strong power. In addition, it is worth mentioning that “Hanhai” private cloud can also form a hybrid cloud with NetEase public cloud, and can also support all the mainstream public clouds in the world. From private cloud to hybrid cloud to cloudy, this is a promising path for cloud computing vendors.
Wang yuan compared the NetEase Cloud all-stack cloud machine to a fully equipped aircraft carrier with integrated naval and air combat capabilities. Although this metaphor is not as poetic as “the boat”, “vast”, but vivid, to the point, it shows that the business research and development efficiency of the ability to support far more than any previous products. “Full stack cloud will definitely become the mainstream form of cloud on enterprises in the future.” Wang yuan is quite sure.
At present, full-stack cloud all-in-one covers almost all scenario-based services of NetEase Cloud, and can provide basic cloud computing services, communication and video, cloud security, cloud customer service, big data and other services, and provide more targeted integrated software and hardware solutions for applications in education, finance, e-commerce and other industries.
The right time, the right place, the right people
The full stack cloud is the goal and direction, while the all-in-one machine is the way and means of implementation. Such strong “combination” is not out of reach, I believe that many cloud computing vendors have similar ideas, but why let NetEase Cloud get there first? To say the cliche, the right time, the right place, the right people, the right place.
What is timing? IDC predicts that by 2021, at least 50% of the world’s GDP will be realized digitally, and digital technologies will permeate all industries and realize cross-border convergence and multiplied innovation. In promoting the development of digital economy, NetEase Cloud and zhejiang cloud computing industry cluster development, Zhejiang province to promote enterprises on the cloud strategic plan, not only played an important role, but also took the lead. At present, enterprises all over the country on the cloud of wind day. From public cloud to private cloud, full stack cloud is the inevitable demand of enterprise users.
What is right place? In terms of industrial digitization, NetEase Cloud has established NetEase Joint Innovation Centers and NetEase Science and Innovation Towns in various places to help local governments promote and cultivate industrial clusters. At present, NetEase joint Innovation Centers have been established in 10 cities across China, covering a total area of 80,000 square meters and supporting more than 1,500 enterprises. In terms of technology and product innovation, take NetEase Cloud “Light Boat” micro-service as an example. Based on Spring Cloud, Kubernetes, OpenTracing, Prometheus and other open source technology stacks, it supports DevOps and is equipped with a container Cloud platform that can support 30,000 nodes and 450,000 containers in a single cluster. Another example is “Hanhai” private cloud, which supports OpenStack and other mainstream open source technologies and has Internet-level IT capabilities. IT has been in service within NetEase for 6 years. In terms of private cloud, NetEase is a genuine and proven “veteran driver”. From the perspective of public cloud, NetEase Cloud serves 450,000 enterprises, covers 550,000 developers, and connects more than 800 million Internet users through various enterprise applications. With the above comprehensive accumulation, NetEase cloud full stack cloud launch is really a natural.
What is man and man? NetEase Cloud has always advocated the spirit of openness. The characteristics of integrated hardware and software of the all-in-one computer also facilitated the cooperation between software-centered NetEase Cloud and hardware-centered Inspur. NetEase Cloud Full Stack Cloud all-in-one integrates the original technology and application experience developed by NetEase and Inspur for many years, and is equipped with a full set of micro-service tools. With the full-stack cloud all-in-one, enterprise users only need to pay attention to their own applications, and do not need to pay too much attention to the deployment, operation and maintenance of cloud computing clusters. In fact, long before the launch of full-stack cloud all-in-one machine, the two sides have also jointly launched DDoS protection all-in-one machine, commercial and super retail integration solution, big data all-in-one machine, intelligent customer service all-in-one machine, which once again proves that the launch of full-stack cloud all-in-one machine is natural.
The all-in-one machine is a simple and fast WAY to deliver IT, and IT also becomes the ideal support for the full stack cloud landing. With the full stack cloud all-in-one machine, a key on the cloud, open the box cloud will be a dream come true.
