Today, the digital transformation of enterprises still face a big challenge, although there are a lot of new technology constantly emerging, cloud vendors, isvs in help enterprise transformation, but in the process of actual landing, enterprises still need to solve some weaknesses, such as: at present, the industry technology products and ideas are very various, how to use new technology to achieve rapid innovation in business? The path is not clear.
Secondly, the distributed technology has high complexity, high operation and maintenance costs, and great challenges to business stability. After the system is built, there are problems of poor stability, and various problems may occur in the subsequent operation. There is also a lack of integration of technology portfolio, a lack of unified planning and end-to-end consistent solutions.
It is because of the technical difficulties faced by enterprises in digital transformation that Ali Cloud released the industry’s first cloud native technology medium Taiwan product — Cloud native Stack (CNStack for short).
The cloud Stack is the technology center in the cloud native era, which can output light weight and agility offline. Technology center based on ACK Agile version, in the user’s infrastructure environment, lightweight agile enjoy the same security, stable container services as ACK, with natural multi-cluster management ability.
At the same time, the cloud native Stack is also a business application platform, which can meet all the technical challenges encountered by customers from all walks of life in the digital transformation. The cloud native Stack can be quickly outputable, scaled out, and outputable on heterogeneous IaaS.
Cloud native Stack complements the offline capabilities of cloud native and provides four core product forms:
The first one is cloud native Stack for Application: it is a one-stop technology base for enterprise digitization, integrating ACK Agile edition, EDAS Application platform, AHAS, and Observable ARMS on one platform, with high integration degree and consistent experience. Cloud Stack for Application solves the integration of development, operation and maintenance, speeds up business iteration, and has built-in distributed middleware to one-stop meet all demands of industry Application cloud native, and provides a large number of solutions. The solutions include remote multi-activity solution, enterprise Internet architecture solution, service intermediate solution, production safety solution, and resource mixing solution.
Take Aliyun resource mixing solution as an example, IT can increase the daily average utilization rate of IT infrastructure resources from 10% to 45%, helping enterprises reduce IT costs by 50%. Make enterprise digitisation unconstrained by technology, lighter and simpler.
The second form is cloud Stack for SaaS: the core value of cloud native technology represented by containers is: managing resources downward, supporting applications upward, and managing software life cycle horizontally. In the past, in the stand-alone era, software installation management is relatively easy. However, in the era of cloud computing, in the context of distributed software, distributed environment and distributed computing power, software deployment and release, upgrade and maintenance will become very complicated. There is no solution to this problem in the industry before.
Today, Ali Cloud pioneering proposed cloud native Stack for SaaS. To make SaaS software delivery easier, it shields IaaS differences, can be deployed in any environment, any environment can adapt, every kind of hardware, chip can adapt. Cloud-native Stack for SaaS can deliver a fivefold improvement in deployment, a fivefold improvement in cluster testing, and a 90% reduction in o&M of dependent components. Now there are more than 50 enterprise software docking, use, implementation of this product.
The third form is cloud Stack for Edge: currently, Edge scenes are also very popular. Cloud Stack is a life-cycle management platform for Edge scenes and applications, which can automatically manage Edge resources within one minute. With low delay and secure communication capability, the message arrival rate is 99.9%; Rich components, built in dozens of edge middleware.
The fourth form is the Cloud native Stack Community Edition: Community version is to help enterprises and developers quickly try out the cloud native Stack technology platform, you can download free, one-click deployment, one-stop to meet the ability of R & D testing, and can seamlessly migrate to the commercial version, migration to the production environment, this version will be available for download on ali Cloud official website in December.
The cloud native Stack satisfies customers’ demands for offline high integration platforms in various typical scenarios, so that enterprises’ digital transformation is not constrained by technology, focus on business itself, and accelerate enterprise digital iteration.
