Recently, Alibaba Cloud officially launched the third-generation cloud server operating system Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 (hereinafter referred to as Alinux3). Based on the cloud-native technology concept of “born from the cloud”, Alinux3 has further improved the security, stability, and stability of cloud customers. Runtime performance, and deep integration of self-developed software ecology, fully compatible with RHEL/CentOS 8 ecology, mainstream application performance after optimization increases by 10% to 40%; at the same time, it provides free software maintenance and technical support for up to 8 years to protect developers. Operating experience on Jiayun.

According to the official website, Alinux 3 not only inherits the excellent features of Alinux 2, but also takes "born from the cloud and optimized for the cloud" as the core, and has made a lot of vertical optimizations for cloud products, including the Linux kernel 5.10 kernel, GCC 10.2/Glibc 2.32 Version tool chain, and a large number of other core system components. The performance of mainstream E2E applications such as Nginx, Redis, Mysql, etc. has increased by 10%-40% compared with the previous generation, maintaining a high performance level.

In terms of security, in addition to functions such as automatic kernel hot patch repair, security reinforcement, and CIS reinforcement, Alibaba Cloud also provides security enhancement technology solutions such as confidential computing and full-stack national secrets, which can isolate sensitive data. In addition, Alinux3 introduces an application flow mechanism, which integrates production stability requirements and rapid development and innovation requirements, can separate applications from the basic operating system, and can switch applications at any time.

In addition, Alinux3 also provides a series of application diagnosis functions and capabilities including basic image service diagnosis, system abnormal diagnosis, downtime analysis, etc., to help customers do system operation and maintenance, reduce operation and maintenance costs and risks, improve security and stability, and achieve Automated operation and maintenance of the operating system makes users no longer worry about operation and maintenance.

In March of this year, Alibaba Cloud and community partners jointly launched the Anolis OS open source project, as an alternative and innovative development of CentOS, to build an open source, neutral, and open Linux distribution with open community collaboration, providing enterprise-level stability, High-performance, safe, reliable, and free operating system. Alibaba Cloud Alinux3 also continues to give back to the Linux community and OpenAnolis community the technical accumulation of stability, functional features, and performance tuning in the kernel.
