Thoughts on the two billing phenomena of public clouds in China

A certain AWS expert-the original is "Yan Zhimin, AWS certified Architect (Professional level)" on the csdn issued an article on the domestic public cloud two billing phenomenon thinking "http://www.csdn.net/article/2014-08-13/2821180

What time did he say?

* IASs has no API

-- When I Was On XX cloud, I developed API services and sdks and CLI packages in several common languages and provided them to a small number of trial users.However, pure APIs cannot be based on the market. They must rely on a good integrated system with a UI. Currently, there is no similar product. The rightscale platform has not made great progress in accessing the domestic cloud computing platform. Therefore, the API and management system are not powerful at each other, resulting in vacancies in this part.

* The lack of successful cloud-native applications is mainly used to support game applications

-- Choosing a game is also the result of the current big trend. The game comes with fast money, short cycles, and low requirements on data and stability (although there are often game data problems that cause complaints and compensation from sellers, however, games do not have a lot of requirements for long-time data, which is related to + well-developed game works and the characteristics of game players)

For a long-lived application with a large number of users, the requirement for data and stability is that the current cloud cannot afford it. FurthermoreThe elasticity and disaster recovery capabilities of the cloud are still incomplete.

* Billing in seconds

-- In the article, the second level is basically a reflection of the cloud philosophy. The actual current time can reach the hour level.

In the future, if the concept of "lease" is used to use cloud resources, as long as there is no rental demand for {a large number of resources, a very short time}, it will be enough in minutes.

"IfWhat is the rental demand for {extremely large resources, very short time? "When the big data application market is fully formed, the demand for huge resources is also shaped. However, the time is not "very short", so what ~ Wait, let's see the changes in the market.

* Pricing is based on the computing, storage, data transmission, and other costs consumed. For example, AWS provides many free services. These services are free of charge because they are management services and do not consume resources themselves, such as autoscaling services, opsworks, beanstalk, Iam, and cloudformation.

-- This belongs to YY.

For exampleBeanstalk is a queue service that requires server support and bandwidth consumption. It should be regarded as one of the additional benefits of AWS in scale,It can only be said that this brick house has been spoiled by AWS.
