Cloud computing begins to get better

In the 2009, Aliyun began to develop independently. Over the past six years, Aliyun's contribution to the development of China's cloud computing industry is obvious. "Amazon Cloud computing is no doubt important to the development of the entire new industry globally," Liu, the csdn& editor of the programmer, said. For China, the success or failure of Aliyun has a similar weight. Lei, who just advertised 1 billion dollars to build Jin Shanyun, said: "From the beginning of the Amazon to the Aliyun, a layer of preheating, I think now cloud computing is getting better." ”

To appreciate the ecological changes in China's cloud computing, the previous Ali Developers Conference (AWDC) is undoubtedly a good observation window.

Sail the Internet

2010, as the predecessor of AWDC, Aliyun held a summit of small stationmaster, this is Ali cloud on the earliest Webmaster class developer group Exchange event. It is easy to see, Aliyun's original intention is to be based on the Internet, to provide the impetus for innovation, so the first day since the establishment of the internet on the most grassroots developers and their needs, but also lead the first batch of cloud developers-small webmaster.

In November 2011, Aliyun held the Aliyun Developer Conference (AWDC 2011) in Hangzhou, and about 3,000 participants in mobile development and cloud field. At that time, Jian's keynote address was: Cloud computing's way of making the Internet wireless, focusing on the development opportunities that mobile development brings to cloud computing, "the combination of cloud computing and mobile Internet will create a ' butterfly effect ' to make a great change in people's lives." "In July, www.aliyun.com official online, Aliyun independent research and development of the" flying "platform to the public cloud computing services to provide the external cloud business services. Therefore, the first full appearance of the Aliyun products in this conference: Starting Ace (Aliyun Cloud Engine) developer platform, rendering, development of structured data Services (Open Table service,ots), relational database services (relational Database service,rds, open Storage services (open Storge Service,oss), Open Data processing services, Aliyun mailboxes, cloud search, etc. Domestic cloud computing for the first time has a more comprehensive product presentation, the landing of products to promote Aliyun began to quickly provide services to the market.

AWDC 2011, Jian's keynote address is "The way the Internet is wired by cloud computing."

If AWDC 2011 is the Aliyun development path, then AWDC 2012 has established the core of development: the developer as the core, to build Aliyun flying platform as a host of developers and Aliyun the cornerstone of service. AWDC 2012, Jian's keynote address was "developer Cloud OS developer." In his view, developers, including Aliyun customers and partners, really taught Aliyun how to do cloud computing, "Working with developers is my life's greatest glory." He thinks flying is the best word for defining cloud computing, which is the real platform behind the Aliyun cloud computing service. Flying by the Aliyun team independent research and development, including a number of modules: The Distributed File System Pangu (Pangu), task scheduling and Resource Management Module Fuxi (Fuxi), from the bottom of the monitoring and processing led to the cluster performance degradation of the cluster diagnostic system Hua Tuo (Huatuo), network-connected module Kua (KUAFU) Monitoring System Shennong (Shennong), cluster deployment Dayu (Dayu) and security management, as well as ODPs, ECS/SLB, OSS, OTS, RDS and other services. This is almost the entire platform technology reengineering.

Ali Flying platform Overall framework

Two major milestones

Recently, it is the two years of rapid development of Aliyun and ecological construction. In 2013, Aliyun held another developer's conference in the small cloud-dwelling town of Hangzhou. In the face of "The Butterfly Effect of cloud computing", Jian said: "The developer Spirit is the faith of cloud computing and mobile internet", facing 5,000 participants. From its inception to the present, the development of Aliyun is all developers use "life" to cultivate. Aliyun's public computing service is available via the Internet, Aliyun does not have a sales staff, but basically every province in China has Aliyun customers. Chinese developers will do cloud computing, flying to better serve everyone. Cloud computing allows every developer to stand on the same line as a big company, giving them the same ability to do what they want to do as a big company. At the same time, let the traditional enterprises have the same as Internet enterprises to innovate ability. Believe that the future on the platform of Aliyun, can grow more than Taobao larger enterprises.

This year, Aliyun has a worthy mark of the event-flying 5K success. Based on flying ODPs production cluster reached more than 5000 units, but also realized across the room, and withstood the harsh test of the machine room power. Platform Computing 100TB sorting takes just 30 minutes, far exceeding Yahoo! The 71-minute world record created in the same year July. Ali became one of the few companies in the world with this ability, and the first company to offer it. Over the years, China has rarely stood on the world's podium in cutting-edge key technologies. Aliyun really unified the sound inside and outside. Knowing this process, it is not difficult to understand why Aliyun in 2013 in the cloud-dwelling town set up a flying 5K monument.

In flying through the technical test of the 5K cluster at the same time, diversified development of the ecological embryonic form is also appearing, for the next outbreak of gathering energy. 2013 balance Treasure turned out, through the Internet services Tens financial users, and Aliyun is to protect the balance treasure only a few months to the cumulative number of accounts to reach 16 million, and its behind the days of the fund ranked from the top to the front row. and its unique innovation model is to promote the financial industry as a whole change. The emergence of the balance treasure in terms of cloud computing, the greater significance is that the ecological power in the promotion of industrial awareness of change, Aliyun in the wall of the highest financial industry caused a change, and with the technology mature and ecological fermentation effect, successful promotion of other traditional industries embrace the Internet. This is very rare even overseas. Based on this significance, the 2014 cloud-dwelling town erected another Tianhong fund-balance Treasure Monument.

Return to the essence of service

In a more explicit aliyun of technology and Development, AWDC 2014 will focus on returning to the "services" of the nature of cloud computing. This year Aliyun service customers have broken the million, at home in a big lead, but Jian has been reminding the team, when millions of users Gbagbo in the cloud, Aliyun should sink down the heart to do a good job. The essence of cloud computing is service, Aliyun can not live up to the trust of many developers.

October 16, in the face of more than 7,000 developers, Ali technology leader Zhang Donghui, Tang Hong, Liu Zhenfei Frankly acknowledged the problem of Aliyun in service, and separately from the services, products, technology, technical support and other dimensions of how Aliyun will be through a variety of efforts to implement Aliyun customer service commitment. Aliyun researcher Zhang Donghui said: First of all to establish a more effective customer communication channels, in-depth understanding of customer needs and product issues, and secondly to address the stability of the basic products, performance and key requirements, especially for ECS, RDS, OSS, SLB are the four most dependent developers to continue to optimize and improve Third, find ways to provide developers with a more complete development experience, such as: Document accuracy, API/SDK integrity, console experience, and so on. Aliyun senior Director, flying Research and development director Tang Hong said to conquer the small probability of failure to become the normal, people this weakest link, the performance of the multi-tenant environment, such as isolation and other challenges. Alibaba Group Vice President Liu Zhenfei on behalf of the Technical Support department to fully resolve the "server downtime and Flash break, the network quality of the local computer room, DDoS attack manslaughter, DDoS attack more than 5G defense and user server security issues."

October 17, the protagonist is both in the cloud to enhance the people's Livelihood services and administrative management of government officials, there are many internet entrepreneurs, but also through large data applications to enhance social efficiency of world-class manufacturers and so on. For more than 8,000 developers of the 20 more speech, the 4 exhibition area is the Ali cloud in all walks of life innovation and growth of developers.

Shenzhen 12308 Network Technology Co., Ltd. "12308" CEO Sage said: "Because of Aliyun, 12308 of the entire company can focus on the business itself, the research and development efforts to focus on the design of the platform." In terms of servers and operations, Aliyun helped it through one peak after another, including the Spring Festival, National Day and so on. "The 12308 team of 40 people in more than half a year, to achieve the National 61 Cities 459 bus Station online ticket booking, the station of each car tickets to the internet." At the same time can provide the domestic 327 cities 5,293 bus station car timetable inquiries, passenger terminal information services. With cloud computing, small businesses can also solve big social problems like big businesses.

Wu Lei is a technician of Xi ' an Railway administration Ankang Works section, whose department is mainly responsible for the maintenance of railway track. In the face of the limitations of information transmission at that time, Wu Lei began to build the internal information transfer platform. As a non-it technician, the challenges of Wu Lei in the Code section are understandable, and the hosting of services also limits the use of the platform after arduous solutions to these problems. At first, services are hosted in virtual space, although the costs are low, but service availability is very poor; then a dual-line server is selected, and although the service is generally stable, the lack of professional maintenance personnel inevitably affects service availability after the server is attacked. Later, in exchange for the well-known host leasing business, stability has been very high improvement, but the expenditure has turned several times. Through countless attempts, Wu Lei eventually migrated the service to the Aliyun, stable, easy-to-use, easy to maintain, easy to manage. Although not an IT technician, there is not much understanding of cloud computing, but Wu Lei thinks he represents the end user who benefits from cloud computing. "As a regular user, we don't need to know how cloud computing is made, just the cloud can give us real results," he said. "Ordinary people are also using cloud computing to change the world.

Wu Lei: Ordinary people are also using cloud computing to change the world

On the Aliyun platform, Philips completes in-depth data analysis in lighting and health care areas to deliver a better use experience; face++ provides the world's best face recognition technology; Myotee face Meng fire to no friends; the "fluorite cloud" helps people to easily view live video in their home. The perception of temperature and humidity in the home, the realization of smoke and abnormal intrusion alarm, etc. nanjing New Vision Cloud, through the cloud of the court hearing process moved to the Internet, through the trial broadcast to make the judicial more open and transparent display in the eyes of ordinary people. In addition, Neusoft, China Soft, the United States, Vanke properties, SAIC and other large enterprises are also actively in the cloud, using the cloud for product and business change-type development. There is also a surprising government enthusiasm, such as the Guizhou provincial government based on the Aliyun technology to build a data-sharing platform-"Guizhou on the Cloud", as well as the Internet as a government-run supermarket in Zhejiang Government service network, are particularly eye-catching.

Such cloud computing practices share AWDC 2014 cloud computing, large data, architecture and applications, cloud security, the people's livelihood, cloud innovation, developer services, VC and many other topics, distributed in nearly 20 fields on finance, government affairs, electricity, mobile internet and other cloud-based platform based on innovative project display, Seminar.

The author from the newspaper Ali to understand that in the pre-preparation stage, jian each speaker called together, a word of a word to the PPT, and clearly stressed that the General Assembly to eliminate all boast, only to talk about the user pain point, and then put into commitment. "It is a General Assembly that does not boast about pain points and services." "The meeting site, a mobile developer excitedly said to the author:" No big talk, told the truth. We can understand and respect Aliyun's efforts, and we all look forward to a better future. ”

Leading China's cloud ecology

In the ecological development of cloud computing, Aliyun is also promoting the collision of each ring in cloud computing chain. In 2013, on AWDC 2013, Aliyun and other companies that believed in cloud computing and insisted on making China's cloud computing work together to launch the Cloud Ecology Alliance, the "cloud-dwelling town". Cloud habitat of the first 33 members of the alliance, there are more than 20,000 people in the soft international, there are only 3 people blog Park, both the Zhejiang Provincial Transportation Information Center, as well as Beijing play crab technology such as online games innovation enterprises.

As members of the cloud-dwelling town, we remember that the Covenant begins with the following:

Qian Tang North, Yun, bamboo path through the secluded, misty.
Cloud computing in the lake, 33 heroes to join in this, jointly launched the establishment of the cloud-Habitat Town Alliance.
We have the same vision and believe that cloud computing will change the world!
We uphold the common aspiration, the joint effort to create the Chinese cloud computing ecological environment!
We stick to and believe that the small town Alliance will inspire the butterfly effect of cloud computing!
We believe that the spirit of openness, sharing, cooperation and innovation is the driving force of the alliance of cloud-dwelling towns!

Cloud-dwelling town has a strong idealistic color. For example, the town's covenant did not appear Aliyun, but to maintain a neutral stance for China's cloud computing efforts. Members of the cloud-dwelling town are called residents. Aboriginal people are basically aliyun users and partners. When the town first discussed the Covenant, it was suggested that it should be closely around the core of Aliyun, but was eventually vetoed by Aliyun and other residents. The initial number of users are not hit the unknown, the Aliyun public violently spit, for example, because of complaints and aliyun behind the people familiar with the fun racket, has been in the micro-blog shelling Aliyun, CSDN reported and caused widespread concern "big masters" game developers play crabs, And because of the quality of the platform is not satisfied with the move to come back later Teamcola.

The key is how to join the new residents, the Covenant also stipulates that the adoption of a number of old residents recommended by the way, we are not aliyun full leadership. Not deliberately leading, so that the members of the ecosystem to establish a cooperative relationship, which also coincides with the nature of the development of the ecological system. The alliance of cloud-dwelling towns has been established, the upstream and downstream cooperation between members, investment has been very active, and many cooperation has shown the advantages of natural occurrence-the angle and the way is very diverse.

On the AWDC2014, the town union is gathering again. In addition to the deep interaction with the active Nordic technology start-up ecosystem delegation, which is centred on the Finnish slush Congress, many members of the coalition have made many bold assumptions and plans more spontaneous. In the cloud and fast enough to propose launching a cloud computing propulsion project that integrates the strengths of the alliance's members to help more start-ups. This proposal has been actively responded to by many members and has now entered the planning implementation phase. The Hang Seng is proposing a cloud-dwelling bank plan. The town of cloud-dwelling is marching on the road to openness, sharing, cooperation and innovation.

Quixey Keynote speaker

Six years of development, Aliyun has formed its own ecology, technology, products and expansion have been found in the positioning. At the same time, cloud computing technology has been recognized by more industries, and gradually in more traditional areas of rapid development, standing on a new starting point. I think, in the global cloud computing industry has been formed today, China's cloud computing enterprises can be more practical service mentality, more open technical concepts, optimize the ecosystem, seek common ground, seek common ground. That will not only help more ordinary enterprises to the global, realize the dream, but also must be able to assist more industries to grasp today's large data, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, Industry 4.0 trends, to achieve upgrading and transformation.
