What are the differences between the traditional operation and peacekeeping in the cloud computing era?

Some people say in the Cloud computing engineering field, the hardest part is operation dimension, because tube 100, 10,000 or 1 million machines, is completely different concept, you want to machine less can human tube, machine more can rely on people, of course not. Moreover, the operation of the system is not functional things, often because users are not visible and is seriously underestimated. Visualops CTO Wang also talked about the problem of cloud computing in the online training of "those potholes" in the August cloud computing operation. But this is a part of the cloud computing operation Dimension, in fact, as the cloud platform is being recognized and used by more and more enterprises, more and more users begin to deploy their own applications on the cloud platform, and how to automate the operation on the cloud platform is a problem that more and more enterprises pay attention to.

What are the differences between the traditional operation and peacekeeping in the cloud computing era? Amazon AWS China Cloud solutions architect Wang Yi says the traditional dimensions of the operation are all hardware, such as servers, equipment, and wind and water, but in the cloud, operators have been unable to see any physical equipment. So from this point of view, the cloud computing era of the means of operation and maintenance and the purpose of the operation is not the same as the traditional operation, because the operators do not need to maintain the stability of physical hardware and reliability.

Of course, when God opens a door, he must also join a window. Since the operators no longer need to be tied to the physical hardware stability and reliability, the new problem comes. The cloud computing era has also brought new challenges to users.

In Wang Yi, the Amazon AWS China Cloud Solutions Architect, the three challenges of cloud computing that differ from traditional operational dimensions are:

How to implement rapid deployment, rapid updating and real-time monitoring of applications on the cloud platform. The cloud computing age requires operations to automate the deployment of applications and all supported software and software packages, and then to maintain and manage applications through lifecycle phases, such as automatic extension of events and software updates. How to quickly create and copy resource templates. Resource templates are configured and updated in an orderly manner, and how to deploy, configure, and manage applications in the cloud is easier. How to use tools to quickly deploy and manage applications in the cloud, while automating capacity provisioning, load balancing, auto scaling, and application condition monitoring, is a new requirement for operational personnel. Faced with these challenges and changes, most of the operators began the transformation of the road to cope with the changes in the Times. Referring to the transformation of operation personnel, Wang Yi believes that the traditional operation is more related to physical equipment, rarely touch the operating system or even the level of application. So he suggested that the operators should be more involved in the software component at the cloud platform stage and need to have a code base. Because in the cloud era, infrastructure as code, all the operations on the physical device are coded.

The last public lesson of the year was left to cloud computing: the challenges and solutions of cloud platform operation and maintenance

Speaker: Wang Yi, amazon AWS China Cloud Solution Architect

Topic Introduction: The Cloud Platform is more and more recognized and used today, more and more customers start to deploy their own applications on the cloud platform. Therefore, the operation dimension based on cloud platform becomes more and more important. So, how to carry on the automation operation dimension on the cloud platform. What other automated operational tools does AWS provide on the cloud platform?
