Recently, by Baiyi Media (DOIT), together with academia and cloud native industry experts jointly compiled the “industry cloud native application report guide” was officially released.

1 Cloud is the technical expression of “new infrastructure” and “Internet +”

Starting from “Internet +”, the Internet takes open source technology as “nutrient solution” and brings a huge impact on the traditional industry with the help of a series of original biochemical application operations such as micro-servitization, container, continuous delivery, DevOps and AIOps.

For the traditional industry, only catch up, accelerate the completion of the application of cloud original biochemical transformation and innovation. From the current situation, the traditional industry has basically completed the cloud migration of business applications through the public cloud and private cloud, and the next focus should be the cloud native transformation of business applications.

This white paper shows that the traditional enterprise cloud computing applications have entered the third stage of PaaS platform, where the PaaS platform technology is very clear and is based on the platform-based cloud biological development to realize the gradual transformation of traditional applications. From a technical point of view, the container + new PaaS platform has the advantages of agile deployment, elastic expansion and flexible scheduling. Combined with container, DevOps and micro-service, enterprises can quickly embark on the road of cloud native transformation.

According to data, containerized deployments account for 48% of production application deployments in the U.S. By 2020, more than 50% of global organizations will be running containerized applications in production environments, and by 2022, more than 75%. In China, by the end of 2018, 96% of IT enterprises had deployed containerized applications in production environments.

The white paper also emphasizes that building a platform is a starting point rather than an end, a means or a tool but not a business application, and it is imperative to make good use of containers and new PaaS platforms to accelerate cloud biological and chemical deployment. At the same time, enterprise users can directly choose the cloud native services provided by cloud manufacturers, or they can continue to use the service outsourcing method through ISVs and other partners, relying on the products and technical strength of third-party service providers, without having to do everything themselves.

According to the judgment of the white paper, the migration of enterprise traditional applications to the cloud has been basically completed. If the cloud solves the problem of “usable” in traditional applications, the transformation of cloud original chemistry should solve the problem of “easy to use”. Cloud original biochemical transformation will become a new watershed for traditional enterprises.

2. Complete product matrix and landing scene extraction of Lingke Cloud

The white paper provides a detailed analysis of the technical underlies of the enterprise cloud native transformation (container /Kubernetes, DevOps, continuous delivery, microservices, Service Mesh).

As the leading representative manufacturer of container PaaS and cloud native field in China, Lingling Cloud has a complete product matrix of cloud native technology and service delivery system. It has helped many top 500 customers in finance, energy, operators, government and enterprise, manufacturing, aviation and other fields to land cloud native application, creating the core competitiveness driven by IT. Therefore, I was invited to participate in the planning and writing of the white paper. Combining the technical products and customer case practice of Lingling Cloud in the cloud native field, the paper outputs its own valuable views and suggestions on the white paper.

Focusing on the three core scenarios of cloud native, Sparrow Cloud provides a developer-friendly experience:

• Container platform: Based on the K8S native architecture, it gives full play to the maximum architectural advantages of K8S as a “platform of platforms”. To meet the extensive needs of enterprise-level applications to be container-oriented and micro-service-oriented, and to support enterprises to establish private cloud platforms covering all internal and external links.

•DevOps platform: Lingling Cloud continuously combines the experience of DevOps landing to refine best practices; Automate DevOps best practices through platforms and tools and export them as services. Open tool chain integration, flexible integration of all kinds of commercial, open source tools. The whole process is choreographed, and the DevOps tools are linked together to form a tool chain and link with the container platform.

• Microservice Platform: Kubernetes is the best platform for running microservices, and Service Mesh is the best practice for microservice governance on Kubernetes. Cloud provides Service Mesh out of the box, shielding IStio complexity, lowering the threshold and scenarioizing the best practices of Service Mesh as a Service output.

In the process of serving customers, Lingke Cloud summed up the three scenes of cloud native landing:

• For emerging businesses, the cloud native troika has all landed to realize the rapid and agile iteration of emerging businesses.

• For enterprise-level service governance with a large number of traditional applications requiring digital transformation, API gateway is used to achieve architecture access and business connectivity, which is processed step by step to gradually realize the cloud native transformation of the whole enterprise.

• For large group customers, unified governance is provided through an operating platform, with all capabilities on the platform open for use by molecular companies or outside. At the same time, the operating platform provides API market, application market, metering billing, multi-tenant, security and other common functions.

Next, Lingling Cloud will launch the enterprise-level full-stack cloud platform, as well as a wide range of cloud native product portfolio, and at the same time increase the plug-in installation of micro-services, storage, database, middleware and other products, expand the supporting ability of cloud native applications, and continue to make contributions to the implementation of cloud native technology and accelerate innovation!
